    Hey. Can anyone help me fine a software that will help me convert videos so I can play them on my Zune? I found a lot of good ones but they are only trial version and I don't want to pay for them. I was hoping there is a free one out there that can help me do the same thing. I have a lot of family videos that I want to put them onto my Zune. Thanks.

    You've got a $200+ video toy, and you don't want to pay some poor programmers a few bucks for their efforts? What's wrong with that picture??? Anyway VideoHelp.com should help.

    Uhh...for your information $200 dollars doesn't mean I'm rich. And who said I bought it? What if I got it for a gift? Makes you think a little before you start making assumptions.

    And for everyone else, thanks for the websites and the recommendation. I really like Super.

    try a program known as Super. Can convert almost any video file there is. Takes a little bit of knowledge though.

    Another vote for Super. There are a lot of settings on it, so it might take you a few sessions of trial and error to get the best size vs quality ratio you want. That's what I use to convert vids for my Creative Zen the few times I need to.

    Yea, I've been using Super for a while and it's great! Exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping it converts faster, but for what it is doing and free I have nothing to complain.
