Answer 1

yes what you want to do is turn a .rmvb (or whatever) into a .wmv so go to http://www.dvdrhelp.com of http://www.afterdawn.com and you'll find the converting software
NOTE the file extensions you want to change FROM and TO and you can do it with shareware stuff, I do it all the time but don't know the rules on here regarding that kind of thing, what I would suggest is to google for "how do I change X to X" etc.

Answer 2
