I might have figured out a way to convert wmv movies to avi files. I opened Vegas Video 3 and imported a wmv movie, put it on the timeline, and then created a new track as an avi. It takes a while, but it made the avi. Now all I have to do is convert the avi to mpeg to play it on dvd. I'm not sure about this cause I'm still learning, but email me if you have questions.
