programs to convert wmv to avi, ec...

[molecularfire]

Does anyone know of any good free programs for converting WMV files into AVI? Also, does anyone know of any good programs for extracting sound (music specifically) out of DVDs. I am fiddling around with making my own music videos by pasting video clips together and overlaying music... also had an idea of overlaying weird al songs over various music videos that I think will be quite amusing. TIA.

VirtualDub would probably be your first choice.

Google it, primarly used in video editing, and free.
