My band played a show not to long ago and one of the wives recorded it with a Sony handicam that records straight to one of those mini dvd's. I need to get the video off and have it as WMV so I can edit it with Movie Maker. Any thoughts on a free way to do this?
Thanks

The one I use for all my video conversions is Freemake Video converter. You can get it here. Freemake | Best Freeware Alternatives To Paid Video Software
Not sure if it will handle mini DVD though.
Cool, Thanks I will try it. If it can handle regular DVD it should handle this, The camera makes a regular DVD, they are just fun size (as I like to call them)
Any other thoughts just in case?

I used to use this. I can't remember if it has DVD input support though. Free Video Converter - Any Video Converter Freeware - convert video free to AVI, MP4, WMV, MKV, MPEG, FLV, SWF, 3GP, DVD, MP3, WebM, iPad, Android, PSP, Tablet PC
To get the video off the DVD you can use VLC ( How To Rip DVDs with VLC - How-To Geek ). I use Format Factory for filetype conversions. But I guess the other suggestions will do that too.
