How do you convert a dvd movie into an mpeg. or wmv. file for free?

Question

I have a dvd that i want to edit on Windows Movie Maker. But in order to do that i need to convert it into an mpeg. or wmv. file first. Is there any free converter that will convert the whole movie for me?

Answer 1

You need a video converter. Like the name implies, a video converter simple converts a video file from one file type to another. One of the more popular free video converter is SUPER. It is completely free (i.e. no adware or shareware). Here is the direct link (http://www.erightsoft.net/SUPER.html)

The following are the file types SUPER supports:
Video formats:

* 3gp/3g2 (Nokia,Siemens,Sony,Ericsson)
* asf, avi (DivX,H263,H263+,H264,XviD,MPEG4,MSmpeg4 etc..)
* dat, fli, flc, flv (used in Flash)
* mkv, mpg (Mpeg I,Mpeg II)
* mov (H263,H263+,H264,MPEG4 etc..)
* mp4 (H263,H263+,H264,MPEG4)
* ogg
* qt, rm, ram, rmvb, str (Play Station)
* swf (Flash)
* ts (HDTV)
* viv, vob, wmv

But, I should warn you that it is not the easiest software to use. For more information, you can read Ghacks.net's article of the software at (http://www.ghacks.net/2006/07/24/super-the-ultimate-video-converter/)
