On Quicktime Pro 7 I converted a 12.5MB MOV file to AVI and it is now 5.53MB... and that is even worse quality when I converted it to a WMA file (now 3.37MB) with a free program!

Any suggestions on how to keep the quality when converting? I am so frustrated because everytime I want to make a video I need to do this and the quality is really compromised... I guess my camera is screaming for me to go to a Mac but that ain't happening for awhile since I just bought this laptop within the past year.
I'm not crazy about Windows Movie maker either -I can't remember what programs I've used (mine were for work) but found the quality acceptable and like you - had to play around - have you tried converting to mpeg ?
