Windows Forum / Windows XP / Video / January 2005WMV to MPEG
Can someone tell me how to convert a wmv file to mpeg. I have captured the video and it automatically saves it as a wmv file. To be able to save onto a DVD-RW and then play on my DVD I have been told it needs to be a mpeg file. Is tha right? Please keep any instruction as simple as possible, please as I am not an IT expert! Many thanks Peter If you are using movie maker, your best bet for quality is to save the movie as a dv-avi file, not wmv. This will be accepted by all dvd authoring apps, which you should have had one with your writer, and this app will do the necessary conversion. Save as dv-avi and not wmv as wmv is compressed, then you will compress again to mpeg and quality will go down.

However, am I right in understanding saving as dv-avi is only an option if I am capturing digital video. My camera in an analogue. If this is right do you have any other suggestions, please?

There are lots of video capture devices available --both internal PCI cards and external "boxes" that connect to a PC by USB or Firewire. These come with software for capturing and editing video. One of these software programs will do what you want, even if movie maker won't. Ken > Thank you, Graham. > [quoted text clipped - 52 lines] >> >>. What do you capture in? If it's wmv then you should still have the dv-avi option. If it's something else let me know what it is.

No, you capture in whatever format, saving it as dv avi will retain as much of the original quality as possible. So analogue.in via capture hardware but save as dv avi or if starting as mpeg then go for max quality - as with Dazzle DVC150 it can only capture composite or SVHS etc. Signaturehttp://www.MettaWeb.com > Thank you, Graham. > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] >> >>. |
