Default WMV convert

Having trouble converting wmv files to mpeg. Everything I use crashes: TMPGEnc, WinAVI, WinDVD. Virtualdubmod does not handle wmv. Help would be appreciated.

I had a small amount of success with WinAVI converter, but I had a few crashes before I finally got it to work.

I can only assume the best answer is not to use Microsoft MovieMaker, and use something else that will render them straight to MPEG?

I initially tried to work with MS Movie Maker 2, but I was not getting good results. I was recording to DV-AVI files and then editing and converting to mpeg2. I found Movie Maker easy to work with, but I don't think it gets you to a good DVD result. I would also suggest using something else.
