Sony Handycam DCR DVD203 - Converting to AVI / WMV

Apr 3, 2006 11:55PM PDT

Hi all,

I recently bought a Sony Handycam DCR DVD203 and was curious what the easiest way to convert the file to an AVI or WMV file would be? I downloaded a program called Winxmedia which would convert, but it was still reading the converted files as DVD files. I know this because I saw the DVD player codec appear in the bottom right of my screen.

All I want to do is record to my Mini-DVD's, rip them to my computer, preferably WMV, and then edit in Windows Movie Maker. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kelsey
