Most definately NOT. WMV is good for streaming, but that's about it. If
you want to store it on CD, then I would recommend either DiVX or XViD. Of
the two, I find XViD gives slightly better results. If you want it to be
playable in a DVD player, then you should use MPEG1 or MPEG2 format instead.
All guides for this are on
www.dvdrhelp.com. There also used to be a link
to the old version of VirtualDUB on there, but I don't know if it's still on
there..
