Convert QuickTime Clips and Movies to Windows Media Player format etc.

I have several QuickTime Clips and Movies, and I have QuickTime 7.1 for Windows XP, and I am not thrilled with the way it works compared to W/Media Player.   In fact it does nothing other than play the movie, and it’s slow at that; when trying to navigate in the movie.   QuickTime Says to upgrade to QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows $ 30, but I have heard every thing from it sucks to its good.   What do you think?    

All I really what to do is convert QTime Movies to W/Media Player format if it will function properly when converted to W/Media Player format.  What do you think, and is there another way to make this conversion without using Q/Time Pro?

Thanks, Phil

I agree with you on this one, Quicktime is not an amazing product, but it does its job.
If you're not thrilled with Quicktime, Pro will not throw up much excitement either.
There are alternatives to using Quicktime Pro to convert between video formats.

For example:
To convert your .mov video files into .wmv you can use the following convertor:
