[MacDV] wmv to mov

[Ronald Woodland]

A relevant question here would be what codec was used to make the WMV 
movie?  That will indicate how good (or bad) the re-encryption will be 
in Qucktime, using whatever codec you may choose there.  For DVD 
creation, you will ultimately end up in MPEG-2, but for interim editing 
you want to go to DV which I believe iDVD prefers for it's source 
content alos.  iDVD will make the final conversion to MPEG-2.

Of course, I will keep a data cd of them.  I was concerned about the 
quality, but wanted to give it a try to see just how they turned out.
