I tried the new Highmat feature which can be downloaded here
http://www.highmat.com
and unless I'm missing something the thing is absolute crap. For some stupid reason they have limited wmv's to only 300 kbps second. I found this out trying to create a disk with wmv's higher than 300 kbps and kept getting error messages (something about audio buffer). After doing some searching, I found the limitation listed here, and lowering the bit rate to below 300 kbps did eliminate the errors.

Why would they limit this? Don't they realize why people buy/bought things like CD's and DVD's is because they were better quality (compared to cassette and VCR tapes)? So what do they do? They take a half way decent format (wmv9) and limit it so much that you may as well watch a VCR (which is higher quality than this thing).
