[DM-MUG] Converting .mov file to .wmv or .avi ~ What do I need??

[mauri booton]

I create electronic signs for a small business and the signs are  
displayed on a big screen display in rotation with other businesses in  
the shopping center. I've been doing this since spring and  
sending .mov files created from Keynote files. I've seen the display  
signs and they are fine. However, with this most recent sign I  
received the following message.

Dennis called today and said that he hadn't seen his aniversary sign  
up on the rotation.  I checked into it and for some reason it was not  
playing.  I checked with the sign company and they said the .mov files  
lose Although Prismview can play .mov files, there is a significant  
amount of data loss after a thousand plays or so.  I would recommend  
that they use a .wmv or a .avi file.  Those files hold up much  
better.   This could be why we are losing these signs in the  
rotation.  Could you resend over the Aniversary sign in a wmv or avi  
format.

What are my options using my iMac? I do have VMWare Fusion  
installed... but minimal Windows software.

Thanks!!
