Default Turning MP4s into AVIs in Movie Maker

I brought over a bunch of video clips from several FLIP video cameras. The
first time I did it, they were saved as AVIs. The rest of the times, they
were saved as MP4s. I need to turn all those MP4s into AVIs -- as the MP4s
won't allow themselves to be published to a DVD in Movei Maker. Any ideas on
how I do that?

=====================================
Might be worth a try to convert the files to .wmv
using Windows Media Encoder: (Scroll further
down for an app that will convert to .avi)

Windows Media Encoder
http://tinyurl.com/bbal
or...
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

How do I convert other video file formats to WMV?
http://tinyurl.com/2o8uso
or...
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...vice/0065.mspx
(Tip: After clicking the 'Convert a File' button...
when you click the 'Browse' button to select
your .mp4 file...you will not see .mp4 as a choice.

If you open the 'Files of Type' drop window
and choose 'All Files' you can select your .mp4
file.

Under 'Content Distribution'... 'File Archive'
might be a good choice.

OR...try the freeware SUPER:

SUPER © Simplified
Universal Player Encoder & Renderer
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/SUPER
(the mirror download site is faster)

Drag/Drop your .mp4 into the field that says:
"Drop A Valid Multimedia File Here"

At #1....choose your output format... avi

At the bottom of the screen...click "Encode".

If you did not change the Output folder...your
converted video will be in the following folder::

C:\Program Files\eRightSoft\SUPER\OutPut

If this fails...there is a forum at the following link
where you can get some info:

eRightSoft Super Forum

Good luck.....
