Can I import wmv files into iDVD?

I have a client who just handed me some windows media files. Can I import those into iDVD without converting them?
Cheers.
Tom

Hi
It needs to be converted.
.wmv
iMovie is by concept meant to work with miniDV camcorders . . any other 'imports' need a conversion or are not supported... a quick solution would be purchasing a plug-in from www.flip4mac.com, 49$, which allows the conversion of .wmv (a PC format) into something useful for iM (dv-stream) ...
or, ask the emailer to send it in some other codec .. mpg4 for example .. which will be converted by iM 'out-of-the-box' ...  and, to work with iM, the video should fulfill a few standards .. 720x480 pixel resolution, 30 frames per second ... otherwise, you will experience a dramatic loss of quality ..
Yours Bengt W

  • Importing WMV files into iTunes/Converting files

    1) How can I import WMV files into my iTunes library? I know iTunes can't import protected files. So is there no way to put those videos on my iPod?
    2) I tried to converting a Movie Clip by right clciking on it and pressing 'Convert Selection for iPod' when I imported it. But there's no audio. What's the problem?

    Someone gave me this link and it works really well.

  • Anyone know maximum QT size that can be imported or dropped into iDVD 2.1?

    I've got a QT movie of family photos put to music using iMovie 3.03 and exported to Quicktime as full quality DV.
    It plays fine before export. It plays fine within QT, but I really want to import it into iDVD and burn it so it can be played on any dvd player (e.g. my parent's 50th this weekend : ). Everytime I try to import or drag and drop the movie into iDVD 2.1, I get nothing.
    One thing bothers me: I burned the QT movie to DVD doing a drag and drop/burn. I then tried to drag and drop and import this file into iDVD. Now, my Mac won't eject the dvd because it says it's in use. Does this mean that iDVD IS working on importing my movie even though the cursor is still active and nothing shows up under my file project info?
    My QT file is 540 KB. Is this too big? If so, what can I do? If not, what could my problem be?
    I've posted a similar question over in iDVD to see if anyone there has any advice.

    Try a restart. That usally helps with me. I don't use iDVD, but I have had some issues with Drag and Drops. Some kind of background process won't quit and thinks it's in use.
    Before the restart, quit all apps and then try to eject. Maybe that will help. If not, a restart always does the trick.

  • I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • Can I import html files into Buzzword?

    Can I import html files into Buzzword?

    Thank you for your post.
    Buzzword lets you import Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX), plain text (TXT), Rich Text Format (RTF), Word 2003 XML, and Open Document Format (.odt) files. (Font substitution and other formatting changes sometimes occur on import, depending on the content of the document.) You'll need to convert your HTML file to one of the supported file types before importing to Buzzword.
    Kind Regards,

  • Can't import prores files into Premiere Pro CC or SpeedGrade CC

    Can't import prores files into Premiere Pro CC or SpeedGrade CC. But I can into After Effects CC.
    I also can't export to DNxHD files to an MXF file either.
    I do have latest Quicktime Pro installed and I also have Avid Media Composer and the other pieces of the Avid package.
    Conflict?

    I only have one account on the computer and it has Administrator priveleges.  What I am doing to make it work is opening the application using the "Run as Administrator" command (e.g., right click application shortcut on desktop, choose "Run as Administrator").  I am not a Windows guru but I would guess there is something different between opening an Application with a user that has Administrator priveleges and opening an Application choosing "Run as Administrator".  Also, your answer still does not address the fact that I can't use my jog wheel.
    Anyone else have some ideas?

  • I can't import raw files into lightroom

    I have been using lightroom 4. I shoot with a nikon d300s. I recently used a nikon D610 and now it says preview not available. It also says the the raw images aren't able to import. So I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 and it still says preview not available. I need some suggestions on how to import them.

    I don't use nikon software.  I just use lightroom. I just got lightroom 5. I tried to update to 5.3 but couldn't find the location where to find it.

    Can you import Dreamweaver files into Muse, how?

    If the images aren't showing up in DW, why do you think they will show in Muse?  Obviously, something is wrong with the paths to those images.  And that will most likely be due to the underlying code.

    You might want to look at this one too.  Very easy to use and it doesn't require the Apple MPEG-2 playback component.

    how can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

    Where are your MPEG stored?
    I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop). I clicked on the .dmg file. It shoud be visible on the Finder. Open your Imovie and import as you do from your camera.

    One thing to point out, if you are doing this with the trial. While it is 100% (nothing crippled, or omitted), the trial WILL put a watermark on the finished Project. If you are doing this for work, be aware of that watermark. This http://forums.adobe.com/thread/433730?tstart=0 will give you some tips and background.
    Good luck, and I do not want you to be surprised and mad, when you get that watermark.

  • Any advice on importing wmv files into FCE?

    I'd like to bring in some wmv files into a sequence in FCE. Of course this format is not directly supported. i'm having a rough time finding a third party app to use on my mac that would convert wmv files into something importable such as .mov. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    flip for mac is a quicktime plug that works in all qt based applications. with it, you can open a wmv in quicktime and export it as a .mov
    While I use it the other way round, to export wmv's for the web it will do what you want.
    be aware that wmv is a highly compressed format and transcoding it, even to a higher size file for example dv will look horrible.
    wmv is meant to be a delivery codec, not an editable one.

  • Problem to import wmv files into imovie 08

    I have big problems to import my wmv files into imovie on my brand new imac24"
    have installed flipmac pro , and they can not help me on help desk.
    I have also upgraded Quicktime to Pro.
    Files look grey so can not highlight .
    Trieed to open in Qicktime and save as Mov. Stil could not have Imovie accept it when i draged or tried to import
    Flipmac suggested i also download imovie 0.6 but cant find it on apples support page. only 06 updates.
    Any one who can help?

    have installed flipmac pro
    Do you have the latest Flip4Mac update installed with the QT 7.2 fix?
    Trieed to open in Qicktime and save as Mov.
    The "Save As..." QT Pro File menu option only places the current audio and video compressed data in an MOV file container. It does not re-compress the data to a fully support QT compression format. Try converting the file to DV, MJPEG, H.264, etc. instead.
    Stil could not have Imovie accept it when i draged or tried to import
    Use the "Import Movie File" to "Move" a copy of your file into iMovie '08.
    Flipmac suggested i also download imovie 0.6 but cant find it on apples support page.
