Have you tried a different media player?

I use VLC Player, plays almost all media types

ConvertXtoDVD is what you're after.
It will easily convert your wmv video to the raw AUDIO/VIDEO_TS DVD format.

You have to buy the above software these days. However, there is an older freeware version

Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the newer model obviously, but still does the job perfectly well.
