Does anyone know of a program that converts Windows Media Player movies into readable Quicktime formats (.avi, .mov, .mpeg) ? BTW, I’m on a MAC…and I haven’t found anything out there for MACs yet.

Thanks,  
Ben

I don’t own a Mac.

I’ve never converted a WMV to MOV.

I’ve never heard of a program to do such a thing.

Took me 30 seconds of Googling to find this:

Thanks for the link. There are a fair amount of programs for PCs that will do such a thing…River Past…ConvertMovie…etc., etc., but nothing for MACs.

That flip for mac thing is probably your answer, I heard in a review. But protected WMV files won’t work in anything you try.
