Hello WAMUGgers,
A friend has asked me to burn a DVD of a Windows Media Video he has
made, so he can play it on his TV.
How can I convert a .wmv to .dv or mpeg2 so I can accomplish this
task please?
Quicktime Pro won't, Toast 6 won't.
Flip 4 Mac is probably the best option. Sadly, the import function is
not yet available - due any day now though. Probably at the end of
April, given that NAB is April 20th.
If you need to go out to WMV it's great. Worth checking out for future
reference.

Your other option is to get it converted on a PC, because WMV is a
proprietary format that is specifically designed no to work on a Mac.
Thanks Jude & Rob for you help.
Yep, I had checked out flip4mac.
We have now converted the WMV to a Quicktime MPEG1 on the PC.
Now I should be able, with Quicktime Pro to export it as a PAL-DV &
import it into iDVD and burn a DVD ..... Is this correct please?
Thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Ronni
