Transfer wmv file to iPhone?

I received a .wmv movie clip in an e-mail. I would like to put it onto my iPod and iPhone. Is there any way to do this? When I try dragging the .wmv into iPhoto or iMovie or iTunes, it either does nothing or says it is a format that will not work.

Mac OS X (10.5.2)

You must convert it to .mov. MPEG Streamclip might do that.

No, mpeg streamclip on the Mac does not handle wmv's.

Flip4mac paid for version will do it.

Or might try this-not sure if it works with .wmv's:

Thanks, Streamclip worked after another step. I found I could get it to work by exporting to MPEG4, and then convert to IPhone and IPod. Also, it worked by going from Streamclip to exporting to Quicktime Pro, then exporting to iPhone.
