I saw exactly that. The format is unrecognised, and Cinelerra suggests raw PCM. I was able to find a solution to convert WMV to MPG at this site: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/wmv-to-mpg-is-this-possible-easily-and-a-sound-problem-551589/ (The first Google hit for "Cinelerra WMV".) It clogged up my 2.2 GHz dual core processor for almost ten minutes, and produced an MPG file of about the same size (44 megabytes) as the original WMV file. When I view this in Xine, the audio quality is the same, but the video quality has dropped considerably. When I try to load the MPG file in Cinelerra, Cinelerra crashes. Is this because it runs out of resources?
