free software to convert video mpg files to wmp files?

Apr 15, 2006 11:37AM PDT

For various reasons I still use my analog video camera. I capture the video clips into my PC using a pinnacle card ( Pinacle vision). This works well ,captures files in mpg format, , but gives me enormous files - good to burn on DVD , but no good for sending via email.

What I need is a software that will convert clips from mpg to something much smaller say wmp files so they can be sent via email. Any suggestions? free software would be great, but I'm prepared to pay reasonable amount for what I need , but I do not need anything fancy and costly, just a plain converter.

I have Win XP sp2, classic MPlayer for viewing mpg and wmp files and Sonic MyDVD to create DVDs.

Thank you
Cesia
