VLC is not a format or a codec; it's simply a player. See if you can open the media into the QT player. You will need to QuickTime pro player to use it for conversion.

It's a player that will play pretty much anything, including many formats that QuickTime does not support.

You can't. The media has to be converted to QuickTime. You might be able to do this with Flip4Mac. There might be some free tools somewhere, but no Mac editing application supports WMV.
