Re: [LUG] Converting WMV to AVI

 

Hey,

I would suggest ffmpeg. I think, although I'm not certain, that it
also handles WMV.

The command to use would be:

ffmpeg -i /path/to/input/file.wmv -sameq /path/to/output/file.avi

the sameq option ensures that the same quality is used in the output
as the input.

Hope this helps,

Jon
