NOOB with a very General Help question

Post by jps » Fri Aug 25, 2006 3:00 am

OK very basic question.

How do I take a AVI [Xvid] and convert it to a playable WMV?

Bkground: I have a UMPC that can play certain video formats in a low power PMP mode. The problem is that I can't figure out how to get AVStation (samsung name for the PMP mode) to play a xvid AVI. Hence the need for conversion.

I load the AVI into MediaCoder, select the video tab, choose wmv7 or wmv8 and hit start. I get a <name>_transcoded.avi that never shows video. Even on my normal desktop machine. I even tried renaming it to *.wmv, but no video.

PLEASE HELP AS I AM SUPPOSED TO GET ON A PLANE IN LESS THAN 24 hours.
Thx.
