Batch WMV Conversion

I know there is a video forum, but no one reads it.

I am trying to find a way to batch convert (that is, many at once with no user input) WMV files into any sort of AVI. Right now I am using Bink and Smacker, which prompts for which AVI Codec to use for each file right before it encodes it, which means I have to baby sit it.

ffmpeg seems to choke on WMVs, VLC doesn't seem to convert the video properly, and VirtualDub doesn't do WMVs. This rules out all possible command-line scriptable programs I know of.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
