Afterward. Using a free download converter program such as Format Factory and convert to MP4 ( of high, medium or lower quality & size ) or similar, burn on a disk or several.  Many newer DVD players will play MP4's DIVX, FLV, etc

Thanks. I plan to eventually experiment with editing the video files just to remove the commercials and then save them as MP4s. I need to find an editing and conversion software.

I am surprised that some of the WMV are different sizes for the same length of show. All of my recordings are in WMV format, the resolution, the fps, the bitrate, everything is the same, the shows are all 30 minutes long but some files are almost twice as big as others.
