Default .wmv convert to .mov and .mp4

Need some help. I have a friend who's on a Mac and can't view .wmv files, plus I'd like this film on my PSP

Can anyone do a conversion for me? PSP Video 9 takes the file to 26meg, much too big.

The file's here http://www.paramotoruk.com/Videos/Vi...ith%20down.wmv

TIA

Easy.Is he using OS X? if so, just get him to download Windows Media Player from here:
Windows Media Player for mac

It will play most if not all of .wmv files.
if you still cant do it, then pm or reply and i can convert it for you.

Here you go.
Converted to .mov (quicktime obviously)
Original file size in wmv was about 7.5 mb, this one tops out at 9.9 so its not too bad.Converted at pretty much same rate as original.
If the file size is tooooooo big i can stuffit for him but it wont be much smaller.
