You could use TMPGEnc to convert the wmv to avi.
Open the file and then File/Output to file -> avi . You will now have an uncompressed avi.
TMPGEnc can be found in the download section under MPEG1/2 Encoders.

started following htis guide here
http://www.angelfire.com/film/baz00ie/

didnt know TMPEG could open these files, VD 1.4c can open some but not all i have here, complains bout a WMV2 decoder,

so thats when i started following that guide

never played with the AVI output option of TMPEG, you can do full DivX compression and all,

who needs VD :D

LOL

does Tmpg works with wm9?

[The Edge]

If you have the wm9 codecs installed i reckon it would.
WM9 codecs (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/format/codecdownload.aspx) (822 kb)

how comes that package is so smaller than that from Nic?
Nic's files installed also wmp 7.1.

Is it good to encode too??

Doom9 here have the "compare codec" article that gets updated and the latest one stacked the WM9 against Xvid and Divx etc and it did quite well, surprisingly actually.

i have never used it mysef, its Microsoft :rolleyes:

[movmasty]

[DaveQB]

[movmasty]

i read that article, doesnt seems to me that there is some reference to wm9.

There is only Real video 9.
