mplayer applescript automator scripts
assuming you have mplayer properly installed on your mac os x (Tiger) system,

i made one for wmx files that works quite nice.
this little tidbit from ericlager in a comment at macosxhints was helpful:
set newFile to POSIX path of (choose file name with prompt "Save movie as:" default name "iTunes Video.mov")
