converting wmv's to mov's

[Smokingfetishwebsite]

Hi guys, I have just bought a program to convert clips for mobiles and also for converting to mov files. I currently use wmv format but many macs cant play wmv files so I am missing out on a small part of the market by not having movies in mov format aswell.

When I convert the wmv to a mov file the picture quality is terrible. So grainy no matter how high the bit rate is set to, its the same when I convert avi to mov aswell.

The program I am using is called Xilisoft 3GP Video Converter.

I think that it is the program that can not handle it as it is more of a mobile clip converter.

Does anyone know a good program that can convert avi or wmv to mov format of great quality?

Sorry again for another post being off topic, my hardcore website goes live next week so I will only be posting previews for that after this post.

Thanks

Regards James

I wouldnt be too worried about providing content for MACs since they only make up 5% of the computer market. But as an owner of several MACs there are several player solutions available FOC to allow you to play WMV files on MACs, i can provide you with the website URLs should you require.

Thanks guys, for the helpful info, I will download some demo's to try the suggested programs out. This will be my last question post as I no longer need anymore help due to the help from you all.

To Angie Riley, Don't ask don't get. Why get my money back when I have already earnt 2 times what I paid for it in 1 month since I took over. Just a redesign and more info for the customers.

Thanks for the suggestion though, lol.

Thanks again guys, my next post will be on topic and a preview of the lovely Lolly Badcock and Tammy Oldham.
