Converting WMV to quicktime

This request comes up a lot. To my knowledge, there is still no official way to do this.
There is a kludge:

Snapz Pro 2 will take a screen capture movie of your WMV file and process it to whatever QuickTime paramters you want.
You can thank Microsoft for their continued proprietery, exclusionary efforts.

Watch it in VLC, it will play pretty much anything, including wmv.
Get it (for many different platforms) at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Then if you really need to convert it you can do the snapz method as suggested.

I'm afraid there is currently no way to view Windows Media 9 content with windows media 9 video tracks and windows media 9 Audio tracks on a Mac, even with Microsoft MediaPlayer 9. The Mac version of MediaPlayer 9 will only play content with windows media 9 video and windows media 8 Audio. The same for pure windows media 9 Audio track. Both MPlayer and VideoLanClient (VLC) have the same limitations on the Mac at present.
As far as I can tell, their is no genuine reason for this lack of functionality in the Mac version, but I suspect it is a deliberate attempt by Microsoft to make Macs 'seem' inferior to their PC counterparts by crippling their own software.
