Hey guys. A friend of mine is really under the gun. She agreed to make a short film for a ceremony today at 3pm. She didnt realize when she began that Windows movie maker only exports to WMP file. She eventually needs it on a DVD, and has no burner for that. Anyhow, if she burns the WMP to disc and I put it in my iMac, is there any way to get it to a DVD? iDVD wont recognize it will it? Is there any way a mac can get a wmp file to dvd?
edit: I have iMovie, iDVD and FCE at my disposal.
THanks for your help!

well, of any format you'd want it not to be, its WMP  The only thing I can think of is to try to open it in ffmpeg, and convert it from wmp to mpeg-2. I'm not sure if that will work though. From there, you will need sizzle to burn the dvd. good luck....

the Windows program TMPGenc can take a wmv and export mpeg. In a pinch, do all your editing in moviemakes, export wmp and then convert to mpeg with tmpenc. Then you can put it to VCD with the windows box - does it HAVE to be a DVD or does it have to be simply playable on a dvd player.? VCD may work then. If not, you can then burn it to CD and demux the mpeg stream on the mac with bbdemux, then you can use quicktime to export the video to DV format, then in Quicktime copy the audio and "add scaled" to the DV and save again. Then you're ready to use it (DV format) in iDVD or iMovie.
MS makes it hard to get something OUT of wmv. TMPGenc is the only way I know.
Even on the mac, you may not be able to view the wmv file due to codec incompatibility.

with ffmpeg you should be able to go to high-bitrate divx, then with Divx Doctor to mov, then to iDVD, which is more likely to work (and be in sync) than Sizzle. The problem is ffmpeg only barely supports the codec WMV2, and doesn't support WMV3, so if you can tell your friend to save the WMV file in the oldest possible codec (WMV1 or MP43).
In Windows EO-Video also decodes ASF/WMV.
also note that QT won't let you copy/edit mpeg video or audio. After demuxing the audio, change the name to *.mp2 and use MAD to convert
