It's important to note that the above only works for wmv8 and older files not the newer wmv9 codec that many sites/tools are starting to use. I don't believe there is any free decoder of wmv9 files on Linux at the moment.
I take some of this back. I've got a custom mencoder build off current CVS that reads wmv9 aka wmv v3 aka wm MPEG-4 v3... or at least that's the story as far as I can tell. However some of the wmv9 stuff can work strangely. I currently have a 70 sec clip that managed to shove itself into 60 sec and then add 10 sec of black to the end.
I am transcoding files for the Internet so I'm doing things like changing the size and frame rate which makes me more likely to run into issues.
