WMV Format ???

7 replies · 3,268 views · Started 19 December 2001

Simple question, I guess.

How can I convert the .wmv format to play on the 9210. I tried with the Nokia Converter, but it says... Unsuported File Format...

Thanks for any help or clues.

Have you tried converting it to a half-way-house (so to speak),such as an MPEG format that the Nokia Converter will recognise. There should be something to do that job at Tucows.com

Thanks for the Hint, but I already looked at Tucows. It seems that I can not find there the necessary download to convert some .wmv format files (windows media video format files for the ones who do not know)...

As usual, I guess I should maybe stop drinking "ouzo", as it might help me finding what i am lookig for...

Any other help or clues, anybody ???

To be honest, I've never heard of WMV, I thought they might do it, but as everyone hated WMA, I assumed they wouldn't waste their time.
Nontheless, that said and the stupid premiums that M$ probably puts on the codec, leads me to believe that your best bet is if you can get hold of a copy of Adobe Premiere, and hopefully that can do it.

Otherwise try and find the videos in non-WMV format.

Ok & thanks for the tips... wil continue looking for something. If I have some news will post an answer here...

I guess I can start looking for videos that are in normal format...

Thanks anyway.
