this works very well for converting wmv or otheres to 3gp format that QT uses
I like it very much makes smaller file sizes too.

converting wmv's
03-06-2007 18:42
Im working with a large number of wmv files that need to be converted to a quicktime compatible format to stream in SL on my parcel. These files are already too large (close to 100mb) and I have tried some of the free wmv converters that are available but no matter how I change the quality settings or the format the files increase to at least twice the size of the original wmv file when I am done. Anyone have any suggestions on how to keep the file size down?

To gain the best compression, but not the best quality, try using the MP4 format. There are a prolifercation of formats that come under the QT Mov format. Mov is a delivery standard, not a compression standard.

I noticed that putfile announced all uploaded video formats will be converted to flash. I havnt tried it out yet but It seems as if this will make video storage useless for SL.
