WMV to MPEG-2

Post by Krzych »

Few days ago I've got a video file in wmv format. Res 1440x1080. Bitrate 24Mbps, NTSC - 29,97 fps. Aspect ratio 1440x1080. So basically 4:3.
Do you guys have any experience with converting that kind of video file to mpeg-2 file?
Seems like Vegas doesn't like wmv's much. I used AVS Video Converter but I'm not sure if I didn't get any loss on quality, 50 mins of video has 2,63GBs. As for me, it should be good, but like I said, need some reliable advices to continue working.

Thanks in advance!

A program I have been using lately to convert video files is Total Video Converter.

It basically can convert every format.

Works great!

Highly recommended.
