Ok, I downloaded. I see that my version of ffmpeg, at least, doesn't
support the wmv3 codec in the aim.wmv.

However, I tried encoding it with libx264.

You can download it at http://srobb.net/sophie.wmv.

If that works for you, then you can encode any of these with

ffmpeg -i myfile.mpg -c:v libx264 a:wmav2 myfile.wmv

If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll try some other formats. It seems
that wmv3, though listed as an ffmpeg codec, isn't working, at least for
me.

ffmpeg -codec help |grep wmv
shows

D.V.L. wmv3 Windows Media Video 9

D meaning that it can decode, but as there is no E, it means it can't
encode it.

That is a deprecated video format, and I think there may have been an
ffmpeg patch for it years ago, but I can't find it.
