I have a bunch of small WMV videos (nothing copyrighted). I didn't make them however and I have no access to who did or any originals they were made from. As far as I believe the guy that recorded them used some BS Windows branded web-cam that outputted to only WMV. He has since left the company, but the training videos he made are still in use and I don't want to have to re-record them if I can convert them to MPG and resynchronize the audio.

I'm running a hacked up Mactel Mini with OS X 10.4

Free would be good too, as I don;t really want to spend money on this. I use VLC, but VLC can only decode the audio and cand display the video, but if I had a WMV codec for VLC I could use VLC to convert the video.

Flip4Mac, but it's not free.

Flip4Mac WMV Products

Maybe on Windows there are free solutions available.

EasyWMV 1.2.4 - Mac OS X - VersionTracker

Maybe this? $15 for it. I'm sure there are free alternatives, but I can't be bothered to scour the net for them.
