Windows Media Format

[pendora-lass.livejournal.com]

Hello there. I just found this community and I have a question for you all. I've been vidding for a while now, and I'd really like to share my videos online. The only problem is I don't know how to convert my vids to Windows Media format, which seems to work best for the most people. I'm using a G5 iMac and I need to convert my Quicktime (or dv.) files to Windows Media. Can anyone help me out? Is there a (preferably free) program out there I could use? I'd really appreciate any insight someone might have on this, thanks :)

There is no free way, and no easy way.

Mac vidders generally provide .mov or .mp4 or divx/xvid .avi files. PCs can play all of these files.

PCs can play all of these files. Oooo, goody! :D I just wanted to make sure they'd all be able to watch my vids, so I assumed they'd need them to be WMV, since that seems to be what format most vids are in. And thank you for the links, they really helped me out :)
