How to convert WMV files? (On Win XP)

Hello,
I understand that if I want to watch my WMV files on my iPod, i need to convert them to a suitable format.
How can/should I do this on Windows XP? I've got quite a few lectures I'd like to watch on the go.
What video formats does the iPod support, and what software should I use to do the conversion?
Thank you,

See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

    How to converting WMV files from PC to iPod playable files? thanks for all your help

    I just found this tip on allexperts.com...
    I'm on a windows box at work, so I cant verify the accuracy.
    I have one at home...name escapes me right now...icon is a blue square with 5 black dots (like on a die). It converts audio formats, video formats, extracts audio from video, and will batch process.
    Maybe someone will recognize the desciption and be able to name it.

    =======
    Tunes will convert wma to mp3 (or acc) format. Here are the instructions:
    To convert a song's file format:
    Choose iTunes > Preferences, then click the Advanced button at the top of the window and click Importing.
    From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
    Select one or more songs in your library, then choose Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3, Convert Selection to AAC, Convert Selection to Apple Lossless, Convert Selection to AIFF, or Convert Selection to WAV. (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences.)
    To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key and choose Advanced > "Convert Selection to," then choose the folder or disk containing the songs you want to convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted except songs you purchased from the iTunes Store. (Purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted.)

  • How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

    How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

    I have the latest adobe creative cloud and i'm using Mac 10.8.2
    My client gave me a wmv file that she wants some people blurred out in the background but when I go to import the media, it's greyed out. I'm assuming that After Effects will be the best solution for this, but maybe there is another way.
    I can purchase a video converter and convert it to .mov but that costs extra money that I don't want to spend just to do this one project.

  • Pocket Playlist- how to convert mp4 file to use on pocket playlist

    I have an mp4 video that i would like to use on my pocket playlist, but not sure how to convert the file?

    Hello Andy,
    I do not have an HP Pocket drive but according to the manual...
    The pocket acts as any other drive to store files on. Its the media player that you use that has to support the type of file you are playing.
    This is cut from the manual.
    "File types supported by HP Pocket PlaylistYour playback device may not support all of the following formats. If your playback device does not support a format, use the ArcSoft MediaConverter 7 computer application to convert (transcode) the files into a format that will play back on your mobile device.
    HP Pocket Playlist supports the following file formats:
    Video: .avi, .3gp, .flv, .m4v, .m4p, .mov, mp4, .mpeg, .mpeg2, .mpg, .ogg, .qt, .ts, .tts, .wmv
    Music: .aac, .ac3, .adts, asf, .lpcm, .m4a, .mp3, wav, wma
    Photo: .bmp, .gif, .jpeg, .png, .tiff, .tif
    You need to import files with the "Arcsoft Media Converter" which will convert the format for you.
    Here are the links to all the info for HP Pocket Drives.

    Thank you

    So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

  • Convert WMV files to MPEG  and/or  get Quicktime plug-in for WMV and AVI

    Hi Apple experts,
    I need to convert some WMV files to MPEG format or something that will play natively on a Mac in QuickTime or iTunes.
    I was advised that the VLC app that will convert WMV to MPEG4?... but the page at the URL below indicates that this version of VLC is a player and does not say anything about converting WMV to MPEG...
    http://vlc-download.com/download-vlc/?gclid=COrY_NKghKYCFQN7gwoduQy4qA
    I would like to convert WMV files to MPEG so they will play in QuickTime or in iTunes on a Mac by just double-clicking them... for family members with Macs like me.
    I am working on a PC where I am right now, but I have Macs at home and at work. I am on a PC for the time being at a friends place and I've produced a few .wmv files in Windows Live Movie Maker 2011. (Sorry Steve, it's just for a test).
    QuickTime will not play WMV files, nor AVI files, but it indicates that it can use a plug-in to do so, but the QuickTime webpage for plug-ins that it takes me to doesn't have any plug-ins for WMV or AVI format files.
    Of course the Windows Media Player plays the WMV and AVI files, but is there also a way to make them play in QuickTime or iTunes besides converting them?
    Thanks so much,

    Hi QTKirk,
    I would like to be able to just give my family these files on a CD for high-res viewing on a computer, in addition to the DVDs that I have made for their TVs.
    Since I don't control what they install on their computers, they don't necessarily have Flip4Mac on their Macs like I do... I just want them to be able to play MPEGs from a file on a CD or on their hard drives by simply double-clicking them.
    After working with the recommended VLC player that also allegedly converts WMV files to MPEGs, for 8 hours, I have a result with the 7th attempt that mimics the worst kind of modern digital art that I've ever seen... I wish I could plug in the screenshot of the MPEG video that VLC produced... completely useless garbage.
    Are there any other suggestions for a converter that simply handles converting WMV to any kind of MPEG file?
    FFE was going to be the one that I tried until I read a post about VLC... that turned out to be a waste of 8 hours of sleepless time.

    How to convert jpeg files into Word

    Hi Eugene,
    I don't think you can convert an image to a Word document, but you could place the JPEG into a Word document using the Insert > Object command in Word.
    For other questions relating to Word, you will probably have more luck getting an answer if you post on the Microsoft forums (we can help if you're using Acrobat, or another Adobe product, but you'll find the Word experts on the Microsoft forums.)
