You could also try the (open source) Playstation 2 Simple Media System:

http://sms.ps2-scene.org

There's also a comprehensive user manual explaining how to use it:

http://www.daveandzoe.plus.com/sms/sms_usermanual.html

It's much more user friendly than PS2 Reality, and many people prefer it over PS2Reality. SMS plays AVIs, divxs, and mp3s, and turns your PS2 into a multimedia centre. Don't think wmv is supported though. It can play media from CDR, DVDR, memory stick, network, and HDD. Works without a modchip if you have the independence exploit working.

yes, get Nero.
It can transcode most other formats so that they can be played on a standard DVD player like PS2
Transcode it and burn it to either CD or DVD

@flipfoot: SMS will not play wmv files, but if you or a friend are interesting in adding additional codec support, there'll be loads of people interested at http://www.ps2-scene.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=111
(this is where most of the development is discussed for SMS). There are also plenty of people who'll help you out with getting it running. I'm not sure about your exact model of PS2, but so far, the most common ways to run SMS seem to be:

Chunky PS2 = independence exploit
Slimline PStwo = modchip

Head over to the above forum if you're still stuck.
