Rad Video tools (free, donate if you like it) is the only thing I have to
convert .mov, converts to AVI not WMV, so you will have to do two
conversions if you insist on using WMV on your device. It seems to convert
most .MOV files, but not all - in some cases it can do video but not audio.

I use Rad tools to convert my Kodak camera .mov generated files.
I leave the default settings and use the Full Frames (uncompressed) option
in the codec selection. This makes for large files, but then i convert those
avi files to a windows media format, then just delete the avi files.

I tried uncompressed and WME wouldn't recognize it. I ended up using
"Microsoft Video 1" codec, which worked but the quality stinks due to the
double-conversion from mov->avi->wmv. I will try the uncompressed again
since you have it working.
