Need "small" free program that will batch convert avi's to wmv's, or any
other format that might be smaller in size than the original file.
Thanks.

Great piece of software.

If you don't mind the command line, ffmpeg circa 10MB download can convert
from/to many video formats (its the program I use). Whether the converted
file is smaller will depend on the original quality vs. the new encoded
quality. wmv/flv/mp4 will be typically smaller than MP2. There is a GUI for
ffmpeg, WinFF, I haven't used it but there is further information from
other posts to this newsgroup:

Xvid AVIs can be smaller than WMVs. In any case, there are plenty of
freeware AVI->WMV batch converters out there but the ones below are
especially easy to use and come with intelligent presets for
conversions.
