The movie that i want to convert was downloaded using real software and now i want it in Divx format for my new video player device. I hope someone can tell me step by step form as i am so dumb at these things.
OK, here's my two cents worth.
You might try Any Video Converter or MediaCoder.
MediaCoder is quite something, particularly for a freebee.
We all have our favourites. You might want to try all of these and find the one that fits you best and then pick a "winner" here. <G>
Have fun.
