Editing WMV on a MAC

[Rukus]

What do I need to have if I want to edit WMV's on my MAC? I don't want to spend a fortune. Also, I will need to convert some of these WMV's to MPEG's.|help|

You can convert wmv to avi buy using Forty-Two DVDVX Plus $15

Then use iMovie which came with your Mac for editing.

A cheap encoder is ffmpegX ($15)

BTW, WMV files suck. You can't easily protect them.
