I'm only asking if there is a way for me to convert an mp4 video to wmv It looks like ffmpeg is what I need and perhaps I just don't know the correct way to use ffmpeg or perhaps the version I have doesn't have that capability. Perhaps my ill use of duckduckgo.com in searching for the commands to convert is the problem. I appreciate your taking the time to read my email and then to reply.
