I forgot to say that the files are downloads from BBC iPlayer and the
software I have tried produces a garbled result. Is some sort of
encryption applied to these files?

Every Womble link I tried was either **** or dead!

There were a lot of other 'womble' derivatives there and it was probably
wood for the trees for me!
It doesn't mention wmv to vob but I will download it and see.
Thanks Gene.

You may want to try the MVW-DVD version to get the VOB output USING
audio in AC3 format/codex.

OK, out of fairness (me being fair? hah!) I'll give you the link I
think is right:
This is "MPEG Video Wizard DVD", which is the current version of what I
believe people mean when they say Womble. It's what Rick Merrill
referred to as "the MVW-DVD version" in his reply.
There is a link for a free trial there too.
To tell the truth, I find the site a bit confusing...

Well now. I tried with DVD and without DVD and they both failed to load
..wmv files so I couldn't get any further. As these files were downloaded
from BBC iPlayer I assume they may be copy protected, as I can't copy
them from a Sky+ box Satellite receiver) onto a DVD either. Looks like I
can't do what I want.
Thanks Gene and Rick. Womble looks as though it could be useful anyway,
so I will play with it a bit longer,

Download the latest Windows Media Encoder software from microsoft and then
install it. Then all of the other programs that support WMV should be able to
work.
wmv to vob? 
Linear Mode
