How can i change a video format?

i downloaded videos that i wanted to put in windows movie maker

and i want to know if there's anyway to change the files from .fiv to .vidHow can i change a video format?usually you can just change the name of the file, hit rename, and change video.fiv to video.vid



it works for photos and some other types of videos, so it might work.

duplicate it first to see if it works so if it doesn't, you'll have the original.

Download and install a transcoder with the appropriate codecs.



Does Microsoft Windows MovieMaker support .vid files? Hmm. I suspect that you'll have better luck with .wmv files.



At any rate, there are tools online that will convert the videos for you before you download them (or as part of the download process).



Plus, you'll find a ton of help with video conversion by using your friend: Google. You'll need to read quite a bit more information than can be easily covered in a brief Yahoo Answers response.
