Conversion between various video & audio formats

Could anyone advise me a good software to do conversion between any video &
audio formats?

I have used "Total viedo convertor" to convert a .wma file into various
viedo formats (.mpg, .flv, .avi), but none of them can be posted to Facebook
or Youtube (the latter 3 viedo formats should be acceptable to Facebook &
Youtube).   I guess the failure is due to the source file is an audio file &
convered into a viedo file, not a conversion from 1 viedo format to another
viedo format.   Could anyone kindly advise?

Many thanks!

In the future - if you feel you *must* post in multiple newsgroups - please
look into "crossposting" as opposed to "multiposting". What you did
(posting the exact same message in multiple groups, one at a time) is
multiposting. Crossposting wouold give you similar results (posting in many
groups at once) but with better management for both you and those who might
read/answer said post.

Anyway - here is how I answered your identical posts in
"microsoft.public.windowsxp.general" and
"microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics"...

Good luck!

(You may want to look into slowing down when you type the word "video", you
mostly get ahead of yourself, it seems. *grin*)

I can't vouch for how good it is, or whether it will meet your
specific needs, but "Quick Media Converter" is free and has been
recommended to me.

Since it's free, you might want to give it a try. Go to
