For converting from .wmv to other formats I recommend mencoder (it comes
with MPlayer).. Make sure you compile MPlayer with win32codecs USE
flag.. Here's an example to convert movie.wmv to movie.avi (DivX) :

  mencoder movie.wmv -o movie.avi -ovc lavc -oac lavc


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.
