K4,

If you are burning a DVD, chances are your DVD writer came with a burning software (Sonic MyDVD, Nero, etc.). All of these apps are capable of converting native WMV files to the VOB/MPEG files for the DVD. Or you could use your tempgenc encoder to do that job.

Also, if you have one of those nifty new players that recognizes and plays WMV's that's even better, you can fit in so much more on one DVD with the exact same (or better) quality.

As for saving to AVI, I noticed that someone already posted a reply.

Regards,
Pat
