Can someone convert a MOV file to a WMV for me? I would do it, but I can't do it on this computer and I can't install a converter because I don't have administrative privileges. Link to Mediafire:

iirc, use ffmpeg -i input.mov -acodec wmav2 -b 800000 -o output.wmv
Off of the top of my head from when I last converted to wmv. -b may be wrong, though, but the bitrate must be high. _________________ °ᴥ° Get Lucky

Super Video Converter is an easy-to-use frontend for ffmpeg and a bunch of other converters, but it might require administrative privledges, I'm not actually sure. It does do everything I ever need it to without having to go through a command line, and it includes all the converters in it's package so I can quickly install it anywhere I need to manipulate video(like at church when doing the VBS presentation, for example).
Which is on youtube, in a Flash-format. I still don't know why you want to produce a wmv file. It's an awful format, and nobody uses it for anything. If you must convert it instead of uploading straight to youtube, make an avi, or mkv.

If I may chime in, I use Windows Movie Maker for most of my project videos that I upload to YouTube, and it works fine with AVI. If does NOT work with Apple's dumb MOV format, though. _________________

Fixed.
I've found both MOV and WMV to be equally flawed. Both formats look great when something is recorded in them natively, but look terrible when something else is converted to them. Frankly, I've found Xvid AVI is the best way to go.

I find anything windows sucks, and is flawed naturally. So anything WM* Is out for me. I honestly never "Converted " To MOV so I would not know, i DO know that when exporting to MOV, it looks amazing. _________________

A lot of it is down to the encoder you're using, though transcoding usually imposes a fairly significant quality hit. WinFF is a relatively idiot-proof GUI around FFmpeg.

Are you referring to the container (ASF) or the codec (VC-1)? ASF does the job (it's certainly an improvement over AVI), and VC-1 is widely used (in Blu-ray, for example).

I've had mixed results with MP4s. They certainly save a lot of space, which is great for portable devices like my PSP or Wii memory card, but at the same time their quality doesn't hold a candle to Xvid/DivX AVI(which are admittedly a good bit larger)
