I used nero to convert a portion of my dvd to mpeg4. well that file size is huge and i know there is a way to convert that mpeg4 to a mpeg1/2 or even a wmv file. I have d/led imtoo and xili to find that they are horrible and don't even work.
Maybe I am going about this in the entirely wrong way. All I am trying to do is convert a file from my video to a mpeg1/2 or even wmv. How can I do this?
(By the way my trial nero time is up, so I can't use that)
Thanks

The secret behind dvdSanta (Download Demo Version, 1.5MB)...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The core technology behind dvdSanta is an MPEG-2 Video Encoder, it turns other video formats, such as AVI, WMV, DivX... into DVD Video format, which is MPEG-2.
An ordinary MPEG2 encoder softwares aren't easy to use at all for common users. They require a lot of settings that only tech-savvy guys can handle. We choose a different approach: the only purpose of dvdSanta's MPEG2 encoder is to create DVD compliant videos that can fit on 4.7GB blank DVD discs, and at the fastest speed we can get (on a P4 3.0GHz PC with 1GB RAM, dvdSanta can encode Full-D1 DVD video at 60 frames per second).
When people use other mpeg 2 encoder to create DVD videos, they usually have to encode the video and audio separately, then use another software to combine the video and audio together, and, at last, use a DVD authoring software to create the DVD video files.
When people use dvdSanta, it's a lot easier: It encode the video and audio at the same time, and directly output DVD video files. So it's a one-click solution.
