I never recommend converting from one compressed end user format to another like from mpeg to wmv. I always start with DV AVI video with original content. You can always try windows media encoder which works well to convert to wmv.
If you prefer to use Cleaner XL, it works slow even on a fast system.(I use a 2.6 Ghz P4) Try to encode one small video file to make sure that the app isn't corrupted and locking up. If it is re-install the program. Make sure that your Windows system is updated and not having any errors in general. Turn everything off that is running in the background when you encode. I use all custom presets. You have to decide what sizes and settings that you want depending on how big you want these, one common size would be size 320 x 240, WM Video Codec 8, WM audio codec 9, constant bit rate mode and a 700 kbs video setting for example, I find to be a decent trade off in quality and file size. I woudn't lower the frame rates unles you really want to make these things very small.
