How to Convert a WMV to a DVD With Free Downloads
WMV stands for Windows Media Video, and was developed by Microsoft. DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc, a popular optical storage media format. WMV uses a different encoding method than that which is used for the DVD format. DVD Flick, Cucusoft's WMV to DVD Converter and the WMV to DVD Burner are three free programs that will convert and burn WMV files to DVD.
