DVD to WMV Converter
There are a number of reasons why you may want to use a DVD to WMV converter, despite the fact that DVD movies have superior audio and video quality. The most feasible of these reasons is the fact that DVD movies have a large filesize, which means 8 full-length DVD movies can easily fill a 40GB hard disk, whereas WMV movies can reduce filesize requirements by as much as 75% without any significant loss in quality. Additionally, WMVs can be adjusted both in resolution and FPS to make them streamable through the Internet.
In order to enjoy the benefits of a WMV format movie, you first need to obtain a DVD to WMV converter. The good news is that there are numerous DVD to WMV converters available on the net, some of them being distributed as freeware (which means you can download them for use without paying a single cent). The only point of contention is that the amount of bells and whistles or extra features available to you usually depends on how much money you shelled out for the software. The old adage "You get what you pay for" applies even to software.
If you are not wary of spending extra money for better features, you will find that some of the more expensive DVD to WMV converters will not only be faster, but will also have extra capabilities that will make converting easier, such as the ability to rip movies straight out of a DVD disc, and even support for copy-protected DVDs, which cannot be ripped by other, less functional DVD to WMV converters
