The tool you need is Video Converter for Mac, why I recommend this Mac Video Converting program? Here are the reasons:
It not only supports WMV and MP4 video, but also other video formats like AVI, MKV, MPEG, FLV, MOV, etc.
It's the fastest Video Converter for Mac I have ever tried, it takes me only 20 minutes to convert a 98 minutes long WMV video, but other Video Converter for Mac need almost an hour to do the same job.
It's not only a Video Converter for Mac, but also an iMovie alternative, you can use it to trim, crop, cut, join, split the video, even add watermark and subtitle into the movie.
Now, let's start the guide to convert WMV video to MP4 video on Mac. Import the Windows Movie Maker video into iMovie to make awesome video.

Step1. Download the Video Converter for Mac, double click to install it, and then lunch it.

Step2. Click menu "File - Add Video/Audio files" to import your WMV video that saved on your Mac. You can also drag and drop the wmv video into the converter. This Video Converter supports batch conversion, so you can add several WMV video files at a time.
