Convert .wmv to any other format with ffmpegx? (wmv3/wmv9 codec)

[jimstem]

I'm trying to convert several .wmv's (using the wmv3 codec I believe). Every time, FFmpegX pukes on it. Any ideas?

Here is the error log:

Sorry, WMV3 is not supported.

You should try using quicktime with the flip4mac plugin other then that nothing on the mac support wmv3.

I tried that, but it still screws up every time.

In what way screws it up?
