One day, I came across a forum and found a friends complain:
"Is there an easy way to convert WMV(Windows Video) files made in movie maker to Quicktime format(MOV). I would like to burn Windows movie maker files I made before I got my MAC in iDVD. Everything I’ve tried has failed.
1. tried Converting wmv to mpg on my Windows box, Quicktime plays the video and audio fine on the Mac, but idvd only imports mov files and imovies import strips audio from imported mpgs.
2. VLC says it converts wmv to mov but quicktime on the Mac cannot read the converted file. VLC is also hard to use with all the options and it is possible I’m just not encoding it right. It also errors out with some encoding options. I am using Tiger on my Powerbook."
