    If you use WMP in VPC can you export movies out if WMP into other formats?

    saw it mentioned in another forum on the same topic.



    i should mention that it's OSX, and free.

    Nick, why don't you just convert them using your PC? I mean, you have one, why not use it?

    hey, 2 guys from MN! (ok, so i guess now it makes 3). How you liking this snowy winter of ours



    NE way, back to topic, on a mac, there is only one way to decode WMA audio and its with this nifty <a href="http://appleguru.home.attbi.com/wmaaudio.sit.hqx"; target="_blank">codec</a>.

    only problem is it only works in os 9/classic, but it should do the job

    The easiest way to convert .wma to .mp3 would be to use a program called <a href="http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/"; target="_blank">Audio Hijack</a>.



    Audio Hijack "hijacks" an application's audio before it is sent to the speakers, and records and/or enchances it.



    Use it to launch Windows Media Player for Mac OS X (free download from Microsoft's web site), hit the "start recording" button in Hijack and hit play in WMP.



    Convert the resulting .aiff file to MP3, with any of the myriad freeware apps which do so.

    that wouldn't be the best Idea because you had to play every file 1:1 and you don't have an eternity, have you ?
