I've got a video in wmv format I just can't get to convert reliably to mp4 - does anyone with a PC and access to a conversion program have a spare 5 mins to do it for me?

TIA! smile

How big is the file?

Are you on a Mac? You can use Handbrake.

I don't mind doing it for you, but if it's large it'll take me ages to upload it because my internet is pants.

Great post Jon! I have been following the effort since you started it, and although I have understood its purpose this post does a really great job solidifying the full rationale.

When I convert it to mp4 it's about 40mb, but no audio and crappy video. I've got a variety of things I normally use to convert, but none of them are working for me Sad Is 40MB too big?
