I don't think you will find free converter.. check out this one http://www.geovid.com/Video_to_Flash_Converter - it cost 60$ but it's really cool. You can download 10day trial version for testing

Let us know if you find smt free

Damn, I played around with the .mpg to .wmv converter I downloaded yesterday and there is a place to select more compression, or whatever it's called. I got a 20 sec. clip down from 1.44 MB to 585 KB! Now that's a savings! And the quality looks the same as the original .mpg. Kewl!

Nice. But how much savings will there be when your wmvs get hotlinked?

Isn't that what .htaccess is for?

Doesn't work with wmv files.

Did you learn nothing from your htaccess thread?

.htaccess will typically protect .mpg files, but NOT .wmv files.

Duh, that's why I was hiding behind the couch

With Windows Movie Maker you can specify the maximum file size that you want the converted file to be.
When you are saving the file check the button marked "to fit file size" and then adjust the number.
I'm not sure if it's the best software for compressing the files with nice looking results, but it's simple, free, and works nicely for me.
Just wanted to throw that bit of info in there.
