Convert it, for sure.

Answer 2

I think Cucusoft Video to DVD Creator is a good choice. It converts popular video formats such as AVI, MPEG, WMV, DivX, DV, VOB to DVD and burn DVD movie played on portable or home DVD player. Any video to to VCD/DVD/SVCD is even faster than real-time.

Answer 6

You will have to convert. A normal DVD player is not going to be able to recognize the wmv format. Use a program like ConvertX.

Here is the site:

The process can be fairly slow depending on the speed of your computer. I think this program you will have to purchase, but I'm pretty sure there are freeware apps out there somewhere. Just search google for convert WMV to DVD.
