Re: [PLUG] encoding to WMA
|
Thanks for the responses.
My intention is, I have several movies (divx/xvid), and I would like to convert them to WMV (which I can get, but no WMA for audio). I want to do this for my xbox360, since it only supports WMV/WMA
Any ideas?

I use (wma10 pro cbr) but there are many other flavors. Curious what your
goal is? Are you trying to match a codec in a remote box or player?
