How can I turn a WMA into a WMV with blank video?
Here's what I would like to do. I want to take an existing MP3, which I will convert to WMA, but I want to wrap it into a WMV with nothing but blank video (or a static image that is displayed in every frame) so that it can be played on a device that only supports WMV files natively (but not WMA audio files).
Bonus points for finding an open-source way to do this that can be automated easily. If I need to do it by hand each time, it will will be significantly more inconvenient.

Well, by hand, I'd suggest trying Windows Movie Maker.
By script? FFmpeg may be able to do what you want, if you have enough script-fu.

I've only used it a few times in desperation at work so I'm not perfectly sure, but Windows Media Encoder should do that. I know you can batch encode with it at least.
