Converting .mov files to .mpgs?

Options
Hi guys. :D

Have got a couple of files that are currently .mov (uses Quicktime) and I want to convert them to mpegs (Windows Media Player) so I can make a little movie for a mate!

Any ideas how I can do this? :confused:

Thanks in advance! :beer:

    Acoording to another forum this is well rated, fast conversion times and also has a burner applied, and can be used for alsorts of files, not sure how user friendly it is.

    Does anyone know any other programs that do this as all these leave watermarks on the video if you don't pay for the pro version? :confused:

    It could have been worse. At least source code's not combustible, or you can bet somebody at McAfee would have lit it.
