[X4U] I need to burn WMV files to DVD

[Milton van der Veen]

Hi Mark,

Here is a link to a Quicktime component that will let you import WMV  
files into the Quicktime Player. I found the link at Google by  
putting "wmv quicktime" into Safari's search. It was the first hit.  
This component was made available for free within the past couple of  
months. I paid for it. :(

wmcomponents.mspx>

Anyway, it will let you export a WMV file to iMovie and/or iDVD and  
edit to your heart's content.

That's how I did it with a file I wanted to use.
