Convert .exe to any other format

[aruna1715]

Hello,
I have an exe file created in VC++ 6.0 . I want to convert that to a file in any other format... like .avi or .mpeg. I want to do this because I have a simulation in vc++ and i want to test that using real time data.
Please reply!!!!
Thanks,
Aruna

I don't understand, how can you expect an exe to be a mpeg or avi file ?

What kind of grass are you smoking?

Actually this is my problem... I have created a .exe file to study the behaviour of certain bacteria... their movement in different mediums. I have used VC++ to create a simulation... like how the bacteria will move in different mediums. Now i have to test this simulation. Another problem in my research is that I have to count the number of bacteria in the medium..... I have a few real time sample data and I have to use that as the input to my simulation.
I will not be doing this counting in vc++ but I will be using some image processing techniques.
So these are the steps:
1. Want to check my simulation for real time data.
2. Take snapshots or get a movie file for my simulation.
3. Give this movie file or image as the input to my image processing algorithm and test the number of bacteria present in the dish...
Does this sound fine now?
Does anybody out there have a solution? please help!!! me really confused!
Thanks

That sounds better.. Now, before I proceed.. How familiar are you in programming ?
Do you use Windows ? Linux ?

Hey, guys! Is it supposed to be funny? Why do you ridicule a person who did not express his question correctly?
Obviously, he is looking for a way to CAPTURE the output of his program in a AVI or MPEG file - right?
I am sure there are tools for that. I would start looking at SnagIt! shareware tool.

Agree VladimirF.. This is supposed to be the forum where one gets answers without getting ridiculed.. And the O.P. is no geek/nerd like us and is into something really interesting .. guess some sorta research.. C'mon guys !!

Thank you so much Vladimir. I will download Snagit! and try if it works. Also, I am sorry for not expressing my question properly. People reading the questions could have been a bit more courteous....!!! I did not expect such rude replies... afterall this is a forum for newbies too...
Thanks
