    Default Converting WMV (Windows Media Video) to play on standard DVD player

    Ok folks i have a serious problem i need to sort out by tonight. I have made (am still making) a video for work that i need to show to a large audience tomorrow.

    My problem is that i need to show it on a standard home DVD player but it is currently in .WMV format. Whats my chances of:
    A) Converting the files to play on a home DVD player? I think they are .VOB files?
    B) Getting it converted to DIVX so it can play on a DIVX DVD player?

    All help will appreciated and time is running out. I'll be replying during the day

    Get DVDSanta mate. That will do the job for you and reasonably quickly.

    I've just noticed that Nero encodes WMV to VOB as part of the SVCD or miniDVD wizard. Will give that a try and then give DVDSanta a try. I'm just need this to be as simple/quick as it can be.

    DVDSanta is the simplest thing out there mate and does wmv well in my experience. Nero always loses the synch for me on wmv though works well with xvid.

    Cheers for the help guys. I went for DVD Santa in the end as it simple to use and produces high quality output compared to Nero.

    Big thanks to bertroot!!! Karma given
