Free converter

Is there any free video converter that can convert avi to WMV with killing quality and that does not come with adware?

Perhaps Windows Media Encoder?

And "killing quality" is entirely dependent upon your encoding settings, assuming your input AVI doesn't already look like crap to begin with.

WMNicEnc

For correct VC-1 encoding, you need to have WMP11 or the WMF11 SDK installed - which means you more or less need at least XP SP2 or Vista; it's possible to deconstruct the archive and register the .dll files manually, but you'd need to know which are which and there's still no guarantee the right ones would work. For any of the other WMV formats, though, you can get by with WMP10.

ffdshow also has WMV encoding options in its VFW, but I wouldn't use them myself.

Well I used SC Video converter. Everything ran fine for my last AMV, didnt kill quality. I had same settings as when it converted fine and quality was terrible, it was like 3 times worse than youtube quality.
