IPad can't play WMV video directly, you can install a VLC player on your iPad, which can player most of the videos. Or you can convert WMV to iPad supported format(MP4 ,MOV), here i recommend a free converter for you, Aneesoft free wmv video converter which can help you solve this issue.

You may need a video player app to play WMV files on your iPad. Just install one of the free or paid apps here. http://appcrawlr.com/ios-apps/best-apps-play-wmv
If you don't want to play WMV on your device directly, you can also convert the file to other video format on your computer first. As we know that iPad could play MP4, MOV and M4V without difficulties. Feel free to use a video converter to convert WMV would be easy.

The program the article mentioned also can help you convert AVI, MP4, MOV, MKV, FLV, ASF, MTS, MOD, WebM, MXF, etc to iPad formats.

IPad supports mov videos, you can convert wmv to mov with Adoreshare Free WMV to Mov Converter
This program is free and designed for converting wmv to mov. The most important is that this program can keep the video quality. I don't think other freewares can do this

WMV is a stranger for iPad and iPhone. I use Kvisoft video format converter helps converting wmv files to iPad liked MP4 format.
Besides, if you don't want your videos be converted, you can also choose a video player instead like avplayer.
They both work.

I wonder where you get your WMV movies, if you purchased videos from Amazon in WMV format, you need remove the DRM protection off the Amazon WMV video and convert Amazon WMV video to the new iPad 3 for playback.

Here is the simple guide:http://www.pavtube.com/guide/download-amazon-wmv-to-ipad3.html

if your WMV videos have not DRM protections, you are recommended use Pavtube Video Converter.

Is there a way to edit the screen ratio on my iPad 3 HD?

There is no way to edit the screen ratio on the new iPad or any iPad for that matter. They went with 4:3 because the majority of users use the device to browse the internet and read e-magazines or e-books on it. As you know the screen gets cut off when you go to fullscreen or it has those annoying black bars above and below.
If you're looking to watch video do it on a computer or your TV. The new iPad isn't made for heavy video watching IMO.

Can not watch videos from youtube on my ipad2

That's because YouTube uses a software called 'Adobe Flash' for displaying Videos. iPad and all other iOS devices don't support Adobe Flash. So you won't be able to watch YouTube videos on iPad.
However, YouTube has launched a test version of their site in HTML5. Head over to youtube.com/html5Then "join the HTML5 trial". You should now be able to watch videos.
