Is there a freeware to convert a video in mpg/avi to wmv or other formats?

And also how can I extract a particular portion of a long video and save it
separately?

========================
The following article offers info about converting MPEG files:

Movie Maker 2 - Importing MPEG Files
http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-Importing-Video-MPEG2.html

If you can import the file into Movie Maker
it has an option to split the file. Then you just
delete the unwanted portion and resave the
remainder as a new file.

And BTW...the cutting and deleting has no
effect on the original file.
