Hi,

I'm quite inexperienced in working with digital video but pretty experienced
in using Windows. My problem is I've been asked to process a whole load of
video files which are in WMV format. The job is pretty basic - just join
them up and burn them to disc so they'll play back on a DVD player and a
computer. If they were MPG or AVI files I would be able to do this pretty
quickly using Pinnacle Studio or even Premier. But the WMV format has got me
stumped - I can't find a way to bring a load of WMV files into a timeline
and process them as one longer file. Also, what format should I output them
as - I will use Nero to make the discs.
Thanks for any advice.

Their Microsoft Propriety format. MS are not keen on letting 3rd parties
convert them for free. Virtual Dub removed there codec.

Nerovision Express, distributed with Nero version 6 (the full version),
will do that happily, you just import them as you do with anything else
supported. It supports a 'timeline' where you can add files and specify
transitions between them (default is a 'cut'), leaving each file as a
separate scene, and also has a facility to combine them into a longer
'movie'.

I just tried it with the version which came with my DVD writer...
