how to convert AVI to WMV ? |
|
|
I want to write an application to covert AVI to WMV.
I've tried invoking Windows Media Encoder in my program, but it failed to
convert .AVI files to .WMV files. Encoder can only convert .MPEG files to WMV
files.
I've found "WM ASF Writer Filter" and "Windows Media Format SDK" which seems
to be relevant to what I want..
Any ideas would be greatly apprecaiated.
Thanks

Can you encode your AVI files to WMV using the standalone encoder? If not,
it is likely that you do not have a compatible decoder for your AVI files
(AVI is a container format and is agnostic about the encoded contents). |

I've successfully encoded one of my AVI file to WMV using the standalone
encoder (with a GUI).,but I am not sure if all of my AVI files can be encoded
to WMV..
However, when I invoke the encoder using command line(no GUI,just text
mode), it fails to do the same thing. I'm really confused..

Get GSpot 1.5 Beta.
As The March Hare stated AVI is a container. Which means the actual encoding
that it contains may vary. GSpt can often times be used to help identify the
encoding used for .avi and .mpeg. You do however need to make sure you get
the 1.5 Beta as the 1.2 has little if any video support. Once you find the
encoding used you may be able to find the appropriate decoders required to
convert AVI file
