I use virtual dub mpeg2
Advantages:
Open source & Free
Extensible through a lot of plugins
A small sized download for a dialup user like me

Well the other day i recorded one program thru my Pixel View Card...

It was recorded in MPEG-2 format...(i guess) and when i tried to convert it thru Vdub..its didnt access the file and showed some error..

So in this case what do i need to do..??

@Dipen01 normal VirtualDub cannot read MPEG2 encoded files. Try using VirtualDub-MPEG2 from *fcchandler.home.comcast.net/stable/.
It can read but not write MPEG2 files

Auto Gordian Knot. It's by far the easiest to use.

mpeg 4 directmaker is a marvellous utility 2 shorten the files.
though it converts only 2 avi & wmv formats but provides a lot of satisfaction.
