You just need some basic knowledge of how to use a video making software and you can accomplish the goal with ease. If you don’t know, you can learn the usage of windows movie maker here.

It can accept the ‘wmv’ files as well but then the numbers of songs in the ‘.wmv’ format are close to nothing.
