Can someone recommend me some free software capable of coverting AVI (xvid/MP3) to WMV format, preferably something not too bloated.

Why WMV?

Was going to suggest handbrake but it doesn’t seemingly output to WMV, so try XviD4PSP. I’ve tried this as I was having issue with Handbrake and subtitles, seems ok though it supposed to support WMV output, I can’t see how you choice the option off-hand.

There’s an official MS converter here but google will provide you with literally dozens.

Seems an odd format to be going to though. Windows Phone?

Funny, that was the first one I’d found that was ‘recommended’ rather than a raw google hit.

I use FF at work seem pretty good at what it does.

This seems to work well enough for me.

Well it does until the IT storm troopers come through again anyway.

I’ll try Format Factory. I need to use WMV to distribute to people at work, some of then remote workers, and I have no way of knowing who has the correct codecs installed. WMV will suit everyone. Google comes up with several indeed but I don’t want to spend hours installing and un-installing stuff that doesn’t work.

Format Factory did the job, seems like quite a handy bit of software.

Thanks.
