Converting video files

glicky

I hope you can help me.

I have some video files that I'd like to burn but they won't burn on Nero because they are in the form of "rmvb", "zip" and "wmv".

How do I convert the above three to avi?

Can anyone help please?

You need a convertor, there are plenty of free ones about.

Zip files are compressed files; you need to extract the packed files before you can do anything with them!

A quick google search will help you. I've just searched for rmvb (as I didn't know that one) and it's associated to Real Player. Google gives the top option to download a converter from https://www.winavi.com, might do the job? Free trial, and all that.
wmv is a windows media format, so the same convertor may do those as well, or do a seperate search. And as the previous poster said, zip files are compressed and need unipping first (to see what file types are inside!). If you have Winodws XP, that can unzip your files for you, or otherwise download the excellent Winzip 10.0 to open them.
Would love to say that X program is the best, but there are so many free ones out there.
https://www.download.com is another place to look, so at least you can see how popular the downloads are, and some have customer ratings.
Sorry, I think the rest is over to you now, good luck.
