Hi,

Windows Streaming Media is meant for web only. AFAIK VS will not import it and you will have problems getting a decent quality, certainly not DVD quality on your finished product. It is compressed and designed to stream over the internet. It starts playing when a certain percentage has been downloaded to a computer. It then continues to play, and download the remainder of the file, before the video has concluded.

You need to research and learn more about video editing. It is not just a simple task of taking any video file and being able to edit it with a program. Then what you are wanting a consumer (very simplistic) video editor to do some high end programs can not do. The format is an End Product of someone's render of an AVI (could be raw uncompressed, or DV-AVI). When the author of the WMV file published it, they had no desire for anyone to take their creation and decompile, or edit it. If this has been d/l from the internet, most of the time, watermarks are overlayed, which is the author's way of saying, this is copyrighted..


Good Luck...:)
