You can convert WMV's (or MOV's or RM's) to AVI using AviSynth and VirtualDub.

Make an AVS script like this:

DirectShowSource("C:\Movie.wmv")

Replace the "C:\Movie.wmv" with the actual path to your WMV file of course.

Optionally, you can add any additional lines to the script that you want, such as resizing and cropping filters, then open the AVS file in VirtualDub and VirtualDub sees it as an uncompressed AVI with uncompressed PCM audio. You can then proceed as normal, i.e. for a basic conversion you would select a video and audio codec (such as DivX and MP3) along with desired bitrates and save as an AVI.

If you want to convert it to mpeg-1/2, you can also create AVS script, and then open it in Tmpgenc, this program will also see it just like a video in uncompresed AVI/PCM wav.
You must decide what is better for your kind of video material mpeg or avi (divx/xvid).
If you have a noisy video clip I recommend Mpeg, othervise use Avi.

Sorry if I had some mistake in my English
