Demo Reel = Freaking Out

[tealin]

Hooray! Copperbadge has come to the rescue. If you still want to see me losing my mind to Video Format Dysfunction, it's here.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

How do you convert a WMA to an AVI (or, in a perfect world, a MOV)? I can only use Windows Movie Maker to put together my clips (... as far as I know ...) and stupid Microsoft only saves in WMA format (unless there's some super secret hidden switch I cannot find) and AAAAH.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Maybe I can ... upload it to YouTube as a WMA ... then use that video grabber thing to save it as a Flash file ... then import it into Flash ... then export it as an AVI ... then somehow convert it to MOV ... Because THAT won't degrade the picture or sound quality at ALL! Does QuickTime Pro open WMAs? Maybe I should ask the tech guys, or someone at the school...

EDIT: Okay, well, here's a webby version of it (neither AVI nor MOV) so you can see what I'm freaking out over. It was all done five years ago (back when my drawings were so soft!) but it's pretty much all the animation I have. And somehow the audio has gotten a couple frames off sync. Gnurh.

Oh, if I had my time over again, I'd fix lots of things about everything on that reel (except maybe the slipping-on-ice; I started that one over so many times I've probably run out of alternatives) but it remains that these are the best animations I have 'finished' at this point in time.

Sigh.
