While the video is converting, launch the Windows Media Profile Editor to create an output profile for the WMV file you will create using the AVI.
Start > All Programs > Windows Media > Utilities > Windows Media Profile Editor
Add a name, describe the profile, check the boxes next to Audio and Video, accepting the defaults, and then click the Add button.
