How do I convert wmv to mov files for fcp?

I have tried a couple of different conversion programs to convert a wmv file to mov or mp4, and all seem to result in a viewable mp4, but when I import into final cut and try to put the footage into my sequence, it won't render. The sound renders, but the video remains "unrendered." I'm using a Pro res 422 sequence. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix the problem?

Thanks

Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Hi guys,


I have a large number of MP4 clips which I need to convert to .mov files (will use ProRes422) in order to be able to use them in FCP7.


I am using Compressor 3.5.3. But when I drag a clip to create a job I get this message "Error trying to open source media file.". What am I doing wrong?


Also, is there a quick way to convert bulk clips?
