Vista - convert avi to wmv

I have downloaded movies from my camera shot in avi to my computer. I need
to convert them to wmv files to use in powerpoint.

Is there free software i can download to do this? I've searched on google
but am unsure which one to use.

....or is there a way of doing it with windows vista anyway?

thanks

Movie Maker makes wmv files... you have that app.

THanks Papa john..i thought it should but have gone through the 'help' and
can't find how to convert one file.

Could you pls explain under which heading i find the tool to convert?

Thanks very much!

import it as a single clip... uncheck the option when importing for auto
clip splitting.

drag it to the project timeline or storyboard and do File > Save Movie

It's not called converting... it's what happens when you make a movie... in
your case a single clip saved to a wmv file type would be considered a
conversion.
