you may also be able to use ffmpegX. It's free, and works well , but they do ask for a donation. I've been using it for converting wma files to mp3, but I think wmv to whatever you want is supported as well.

AFAIK Easy WMA is only for audio conversion but not video.

It'll never happen because of the w part. Microsoft wouldn't allow it, it's not an open format which is a bad thing. 🙁

But yeah, Flip4Mac is great.

Export them with Quicktime Pro.
