There's a lot of different links there to choose from. I would be willing to bet you'd have to download some kind of program that will do it. Hope that helps..

If you can send it to me I have access to a professional software that will do it.

I assume you are looking for a way to do this on Mac. There are many ways. Here is a good but somewhat dated FAQ:

http://danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/qt_plugins/3002.shtml

I have used VLC before but not often or lately to convert both wmv and rm to mov for use on a video iPod, but not for editing.

VLC works, but is not very easy to use since it offers so many options.

For instance several "mov" video codec options for import with iMovie work, the best are DV, AIC, MPEG-4, and H.264. The first two were specifically designed as editing formats but the files will be much larger. Trying a short clip with each would be advisable to determine which gives best quality and/or does the job fastest depending on what is more important to you. And you have several audio codec options as well.

Other options that might allow for easier conversion and perhaps import straight into iMovie are Flip4Mac and Perian.
