Well, WMP only supports WMV and mpeg1, out of the box, AFAIK. I don't
know if WMP reads MPEG1 in mms (you should give a try). Otherwise, VLC
comes with an (uncomplete and though not to efficient, but which should
produce compilant streams) WMV1/2 encoder.

If you are under windows, VLC 0.8.1 can also make use of the WMV1/2/3
encoder MS ships with wxindows...
