thanks

AIST MovieXone can export AVIs. I don't think it can export MPEGs, but you can use TMPGenc to convert AVIs to MPEGs.

Unfortunatly they made a new version.

Note: Per request of the developer, this file is no longer available.

You can find the freeware version here, along with a lot of other open source files.

ok.. i think that software was just for converting AVI to MPEG... is there a software that converts WMV to MPEG?

You have to first tell us :

- From where did you got the footage?
- Wich edit program you're using ?
- When your vid is getting blurry ? DVDs ripping / Editing / Compressing process?

then somebody can try to help

If the footage is blurry to begin with (and downloaded footage tends to be), then there's no way it will be any better after you run it through wmm. Your best bet is to rip the footage yourself and keep your bitrate high when you produce the vid in wmm. But you can also try cleaning up the source footage in VirtualDub - again, though, if it's blurry to begin with it will just get even more blurry after you recompress it.

General compression rule for wmm - to get better quality, raise the bitrate - in wmm 2.0 you'd pick the 'other' tab and 'high quality large' option for a good size wmv. If you're using wmm 1.0 then go to 'other' and choose NTSC avi format - then google to find a simple avi-to-mpg converter and the quality should be pretty good as long as the source footage isn't bad.
