AVS video converter

[andyref]

Hi all , I am working on vista and using windows movie maker and also using the above converter.
Now its the best one I have used to get good quality DVD to wmv .
I am converting files from my own films (home made )not ones you buy in shops so there is no copy right and they are not coded etc....
The only problem with the above converter is that unless you pay between $30 to $60 to have unlimited use ,u get a watermark sometimes on the footage .
Does anyone know any other programme that is a good as this or should I just pay ????????
