Turning WMV files and FLV files to AVI?

I downloaded a program which turned WMV to AVI but it leaves a big watermark/nag on the videos after which spoils playback. Is there a better alternative? Can anyone also recommend a program which turns FLV files to AVI so I can also play these on my DVD player which plays CD rewritables. Would be cool if there was one program which did both tasks.

Any help would be appreciated, the simpler the better as I'm no good with PC's.

Converting takes time and the quality mostly gets worse, so if you can't play *flv, think of installing the needed codec so you can play it MediaPlayer or whatelse. Use a tool called GSpot

Code:

to find out which codec is used in the *flv, and then maybe use ffdshow-filter to play them.

To convert videos, i'm very satisfied with Super

Code:

If you don't want to convert, maybe try "flv extract",

Code:

which demuxes audio and video to seperate streams. Then you can edit them with VirtualDub. But you need the videocodec to play it, so if you don't want to install them, converting is the best choice. Before converting, have a look at the files resolution and bitrate (use GSpot).

I suggest convertxtodvd. Very simple program to use.

Enjoy and cheers.
