Just downloaded Premiere trial and windows media encoder 9 - did the job surprisingly well - edits not quite as smooth but small enough to email. Cheers anyway

mediacoder will probably do it

download VLC player from www.videolan.org/vlc/ - it's free and plays just about anything you throw at it.

then create the following batch file:

"c:\program files\videolan\vlc\vlc" -vvv %1 --sout-ffmpeg-qscale 1
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,scale=1,acodec=wma,ab =96,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux= asf,dst=%1.wmv}}

copy and paste all the above into a notepad file and save it as a .bat file - then just drag and drop your original file onto the batch file icon and it will create a copy converted to wmv in the same directory as the original - it works for me as i need to do this to make wmv files so I can play them on my TV through my Xbox

you need to make sure that the vlc.exe file is in the same location as the path on the first line of the batchfile - if not then just edit the batch file.
