Yes but then you're taking an extra stage of quality hit. Ben was recommending the most direct route from QT to WM9... there are certainly others, including using VirtuaDub with the QT plugin, for instance.

The main issue is there's only one full-featured WM9 encoder that supports QT directly as a source format - ProCoder. Everything else will either result iin extra steps, or sacrificing a little quality... depending how far you're taking these files down, converting to DV may not hurt much at all (if the final output is quite small for instance) or may hurt a lot (if you're trying to maintain a large frame size).

Won't converting the QT movie to a DV stream create a file the WMP encoder can use ? Just need QTPro.

Chris,
The easiest and fastest thing to do is get a Windows box and a copy of Canopus's ProCoder. It can read native QuickTime files, and encode them to Windows Media.

Virtual PC can work, but the speeds can be pretty glacial. A $600 P4 box will be easily 10x faster than VPC.
