I'm looking to convert my videos to WMV or WMA so I can stream them via Connect360 to my Xbox 360. Do you know of any converters I can use?

Ugh, I do not have Quicktime Pro, is this really the only option?

You'll have to find out with an export in trial mode for yourself.

As far as I can tell, there is no Pro trial, but I may be an idiot.

I only have the free version of Flip4Mac installed and it exports the first 30 seconds of a movie. I tried it (from QuickTime Player Pro). That should suffice to find out whether the exported movie plays on the XBOX.

Ah, thanks. But it appears I still need the pro version (of Quicktime) for that. I was asking if there was any other option besides quicktime. I hate how for every trial program there is on the mac, there are 10 free versions on windows . . .

VisualHub. Handles conversion with almost all formats out there, including WMV. Also pretty simple to use.

Yes, I tried that in demo mode. It appeard to convert it and everything. I moved the WMV file, but it isn't reconised as a movie by Connect360, I'm not sure why.

That's Windows software, unless you can lead me to the Mac program that runs '.exe's?
