I can't get the blasted things to save on my computer (I'm Mac based). Why can't we all just get along?
Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks! _________________ Pam Tierney

Pam,
I have Quicktime Pro, which might be able to do that conversion. Want to send me the WMV files and I'll see what I can do. _________________ Be well,

K, files are on the way to Bob. Todd you're in the batter's box if it doesn't work. I should just buy Quiktime Pro sooner than later. Thanks! _________________ Pam Tierney

Pam,
As it turned out Quicktime Pro didn't like the WMV file, but I was able to find an alternative converter that did the trick and was free. File is done and on its way back to you now. _________________ Be well,

Hi Pam,
There's a free version of "Switch" for Mac which can do the conversion you wanted, amongst others. You can download it here:

There's a free Quicktime plug-in called Flip4Mac that will let you view WMVs on your Mac. The paid version (which I think is kind of pricey but works really well) works with Quicktime Pro to allow you to convert video to WMV on the Mac.
The free version is definitely worth having just so you can watch the little buggers when necessary. _________________ Bob Ransom

Pam, I've been using SUPER for a few years now and am very happy with it. Although the website looks like it was put together by my little nephew, the program is quite powerful.
Get it here: http://www.erightsoft.com/S6Kg1.html
Scroll ALL the way to the bottom and click on "Download SUPER © setup file." I didn't want to direct link the exe file for obvious reasons.
