Recorded tv converter

Is there a converter out there that's free that will convert my recorded tv to ipod format? I've looked and can't seem to find one. I'm not sure what format the recorded shows are in. There is no extension after the name for me to know. The file name is like: Jericho_KYW_01_04_2007_20_00_23. And then under that it says it's a Microsoft recorded tv show. I can convert my dvd's fine but I would love to be able to convert my tv shows too. Thanks

 

Where is the recorded TV show located?

 

On my hard drive under documents and settings\all users\documents and then under recorded tv.

 

Right click on one of them, go to properties, then please tell me what format they are.

 

The only thing I see is it says it a Microsoft recorded tv show. No where on there does it say what type of file it is.

 

I just found this guide that should be of help to you.

If you give up on free, get Cucusoft, I love it for tv shows.

Glad to see someone is watching Jericho too, hope they don't cancel it.
