    MP4 to WMV or any type that WMP can play

    Hey anyone know of any programs that can convert MP4 videos to a format that WMP can play? My media player can only play videos that WMP can play. Thanks

    mplayer mighjt be able to do so. It will certainly decode most formats, and I think it can encode as well. (and it's free) Google mplayer for more info.

    WMP can play MP4s without conversion though.

    Just install ffdshow to give it the codec.

    good point ffdshow is worth googling

    but...he might want it for a small portable device that you cant run ffdshow on.
