If WME is what I think, just a conversion tool, on top of what's been
recommended already you could simply use "vlc". Look under the "media"
menu for "convert/record", the wizard is straightforward from there.
Also to consider is "winff" (ffmpeg gui) and "Lives", "Lives" is much
more than a conversion tool, it does multi-tracks editing and live
capture/mixing (Video DJ) too.
If you want to work with audio only, look at "xcfa".
I wouldn't dare recommending ffmpeg, mencoder or sox (audio) from the
command line to a Microsoft gui tools user, but for a quick conversion
or on the contrary working on large batches of media through a script,
there's nothing more efficient.
