Converting WP3 to WMV/MP4 - anything?
I am running W7 and cannot get Photostory to install so I can resave my original WP3 files as WMV. I have tried expression encoder and it cannot parse the xml file. I installed AVS converter and that does not recognize Wp3 either.

Any ideas?

found this option on the net.

WP3 = Microsoft Photo Story 3 file format.

No, you can't convert it directly.

What you do is create AVI from WP3 using Photo Story, then edit AVI via movie maker.

Hope it helps...

Thanks much - the problem though is I am running Win7 and cannot install PS on this OS. I think I need to install XP on an old machine and just do this whole thing on a sep machine.
