Yes, I tried that. A two hour program recorded with WMC in the WTV format is as large as 8GB and will not fit on any DVD I am aware of (not to say I know it all). So the desire to convert the WTV into a standard format, one like the "Ga-Zillions" of DVDs on the market today use and playable in DVD players. I am even willing to give up all the additional content contained in the WTV format just to be able to watch my favorite programs from a DVD without being forced to watch 20 minutes of commercials for every hour of programming. It appears to me the the meaning of the term "Commercial Television" is fast becoming: "Entertainment through watching commercials."
The link provided is for software compatible for Windows 2000 and XP, and in a microsoft only format: MWV, not compatible with any DVD player I am aware of (see my note above).
Windows 7 in not even mentioned. To get this software to work with Vista, you must remove any Media Encoder 9 software form your system including a security update, install a "fix", and re-install Media Encoder 9 and all appropriate codexes. And you still do not have a solution to play recorded video via DVD on a DVD player. No thanks.
