[MacDV] wmv to mov

[Mark M.Florida]

I'd give VLC a try.  I know it's possible to convert MPEG-2 to other 
QuickTime-based formats, and VLC can play WMV files as well, so you 
should be able to go from WMV -> QT (use a high-quality codec like DV 
or MJPEG-A for minimal image loss at a manageable file size), then 
you'll still have to go to MPEG-2 using iDVD (it does the conversion 
automatically).

No guarantees on image quality, though -- that file will have gone 
through many "generations" of recompression by the time it hits the TV.
