Anyone stumbled across a decent WMV MP4 converter? (Mac)

I've recently gotten my new 5G iPod, quite a machine, and so far I've used converters such as MoviePod to create my iPod-formatted movies. However, I have a few movies in the Windows Media Video format that I'd like to convert, but none of the applications I've tried support the format properly. These include applications such as MoviePod, Toast 7 Titanium, MoviesformyiPod, FFmpegX, Quicktime Pro, and iSquint.
I'm aiming for freeware, or at least a fully-functional demo, since I've got no money let alone a Paypal account or Credit card. Any recommendations for a Mac user running on 10.4.3?

Prices just dropped for Flip4Mac Player. Player is FREE and even available from Microsoft. Player Pro, which converts wmv to mov and/or allows you to play wmv in iMovie is now only $29.
There is a program
called flip4mac. It will convert .Wmv to .Mov. It
isn't free/share were though. I think it costs around
30 dollars.
Actually, the Flip4Mac Pro component for QT Pro is
closer to $50. While it does allow both decoding from
and encoding to Windows Media files, the price, in my
opinion, is a bit exorbitant due to the basic lack of
competition by other software producers.
It won't convert WMV 9
files - you apparently need Flip4Mac to make iSquint
work on them - but I downloaded the F4M trial version
and iSquint still won't convert WMV9s. I'm not sure
if I want to shell out the cash for F4M if it might
not do the job.
I believe iSquint (free) is an MPEG based application
(handles muxed and AVI) as well as QT via the QT
Tools package only. On the other hand, applications
like Podner ($10), are designed to exploit standard
QT and some muxed formats, as well as, tap QT Pro and
and QT Pro available components. Thus, the Flip4Mac
Pro component will work in Podner, along with other
components such as the 3ivX and/or Divx.

  • What are the correct Premiere Pro CS4 settings for producing WMV/MP4 to FLV/F4V videos?

    Greetings.
    I have recently purchased CS4 Production Suite.  My task is to convert WMV/MP4 videos to FLV/F4V videos that contain titles, transitions, and credits for streaming from Flash Media Server.
    My test videos are experiencing audio sync issues when using Adobe Media Encoder as the export tool.  When I use Flash Video Export tool using the source WMV/MP4, I do not experience sync issues.
    I can control the WMV/MP4 output settings since we record our own sessions using Windows Media Encoder.  I can also utilize Flash Media Live Encoder to capture the source.
    The video source comes from a video capture card (Osprey) that is connected to an IP based camera(s) which are controlled by video technicians.
    We record from that capture card into WMV format.
    My question is, what are the settings in Premiere to produce FLV/F4V for streaming in 480p quality?
    I am new to video production and gladly appreciate any assistance.
    Regards,
    Shack

    Jim,
    Thank you for your response.  I am a total noob at video, but have the requirement to produce recorded video to our FMS servers.
    Here is my situation.  We have classrooms and auditoriums hard wired with IP cameras.  Our video techs can record to DVR and then finalize to DVD (VOB).  We also have a control center that can capture those cameras using Windows Media Encoder to record.
    I have been given CS4 to produce these videos.  Each time that I transcode, the audio gets out of sync.  I am trying to figure out a suitable way to take VOB and WMV files into PP and output to FLV/MP4.
    Appreciate any advice...

  • Using iMovie - looking for mp4 converter

    Hi,
    I am looking for a .mov - mp4 converter, as I can't open my .mov files from my cam in iMovie.
    Does anyone know a good freeware program?
    I found Xilisoft and 4media converter, but they are not for free - trial version converts only 5 minutes or if it's shorter only half of the file.

  • L2TP w/ PSK unable to connect via the phone dataplan, has anyone come across this?

    I have been messing around with this on my Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0.2 and have confirmed the following settings for VPNs to our corprate firewall.
    PPTP over Dataplan CDMA -- Everything works fine
    PPTP over Dataplan LTE -- Untested due to lack of availability where I live and work, will test at a later date.
    PPTP over WiFi -- Everything works fine
    L2TP over Dataplan CDMA -- Connection timeout
    L2TP over Dataplan LTE -- Untested due to lack of availability where I live and work, will test at a later date.
    L2TP over WiFi -- Everything works fine
    OpenVPN not supported without rooting the phone -- Verizon please add this functionality into your base ROMs for all of your phones.
    The reason I ask about anyone coming across this or having a fix is PPTP may work but it's old/insecure comparitively and may be going away in a future stable tree release of the corprate firewall I work with.  The full support of L2TP and/or OpenVPN/SSL-VPN would make life a lot easier for us techs who need to bounce into a server quickly and do what's needed when having a PC at hand is impossible, ie at a sitdown resturant.  If you need logs of the connect attempt let me know and I'll get them to you.  I did however see this error posted on the Samsung Fascinate forum as well.

    As of yet no, they are on my list of people to call but I won't be able to get to that call until a little later, once I do call Verizon Tech support I will reply with the post here if it hasn't been answered by someone who has come up with a workaround on the issue. 

  • I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm mic and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lecture to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lectures to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
    traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
    Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
    external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
    Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
    ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
    wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
    Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
    be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
    most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
    is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
    Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
    electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
    Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
    remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
    Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
    & mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
    Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
    at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
    PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
    or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

  • M4v to mp4 converter

    whats the best FREE m4v to mp4 converter for mac osx? I have some m4v's that i want to put in iDVD.

    That's odd. I was able to find this, which should be able to convert the files. However, it's shareware. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/ivcd.html I also found this one, which is freeware: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    I also found this tutorial with a linked download. http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.php?t=293898
    I know you asked for free software, but this was all I could find. If you can't find anything else that works you may have to try demos and shareware. Also, I don't know if any of these apps will be able to convert your files, because many video codecs share the same file extension.
    I have one more question for you. What happens when you try to use the M4V files with iDVD? If push comes to shove you may be able to import the video files into iMovie and export them to QuickTime or iDVD. However, this may take some time, and it will only work if iMovie can import the files. Good luck and report back soon.
    Video can be a real pain in the neck....

    I dont wanna mess around all day looking for a quality converter.
    I ask the gods of video for a high recommendation based upon experience in this arena.

    Check the video or audio parameters whether set as same as your original video.
    If it always mess your video, you'd better try some better alternatives like iFunia AVCHD video converter or Voilabits video converter ...
    Good luck!

  • Will people stumble across off topic posts on a blog?

    In Summary my question is this: Have I ANY chance of people stumbling across off topic posts?
    Let's say I have my website with a specific subject as far as domain and title and content are concerned.
    I.E: John's Tech Blog at techblogger.com
    The content is pretty much all about tech stuff.
    But then I see a film I like and want to review it...and put a review on there.
    OR
    I want to discuss something I find interesting on the Psychology Today website (something less mainstream).
    Have I ANY chance of people stumbling across either of these or similar?
    I know a bit about SEO, and know...basically the more I mention something (keyword-wise) the better. Aswell as density, proximity etc of course.
    Now, because 'movie' and 'review' and the title of the movie are only mentioned in close proximity on that one page...does this mean nobody will find it?
    Let's also assume I re-post these posts on 5 other article sites linking back.
    So basically again: Have I ANY chance of people stumbling across off topic posts?

    Most likely not to many, of course you will get a little google juice from the link.

  • Has ANYone come across the problem i have? The screen expands?

    Hey guys,
    Has anyone come across this problem; the iphone screen now has enlargened slightly so that nothing is at the right resolution anymore!
    Even at the home screen If i want to view the time, battery meter and the like, I have to tap up so the screen moves up. Having done this, the bottom bit becomes hidden (i.e. phone, mail, safari, ipod lines)!
    What to do?

    well i keep roaming around the support site n ended up just resetting all the settings..
    I was reluctant to do so for fear of losing all data but that wasnt the case.
    Seems to have fixed it.
    Im thinking it was an application that may have tweeked the settings a little?
    and no, the zoom wasnt on. :S
    Thanks for the input tho peeps!

  • HT3275 Has anyone come across the red "i" message saying "The backup disk image "/Volumes/Chris...(the last bit being) iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use? This has prevented my time machine from backing up from this morning (5th Dec 2012).

    Has anyone come across the red "i" message saying "The backup disk image "/Volumes/Chris...(the last bit being) iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use."?
    As of yesterday (4th Dec 2012) everything was fine, no trouble or problems at all. Wake up this morning, turn on the computer and when it came time to backup itself, the message occurred above and this has prevented my time machine from backing up from this morning (5th Dec 2012) ever since then.
    Everything on my computer is up-to-date but this problem still persists displaying this message practically every hour, on the hour and nothing is getting backedup!
    If you know what is going on and more importantly, how to fix this, I would be indebted to you for sharing your knowledge with me on this subject.
    Thank you.

  • Currecny Translation - Has anyone come across a scenario like this?

    Group Currency - USD
    We translate each entities Income statement based on the following rates:
    Weighted average rate for Revenues
    Weighted average rate for Costs
    Weighted average rate for Administrative Expenses.
    These weighted average rates are calculated as follows:
    Revenue:
    u2211 (Mid month exchange Rate)*(Monthly Revenue / Year to date Revenue)
    Cost:
    u2211 (Mid month exchange Rate)*(Monthly Cost / Year to date Cost)
    Administrative expense:
    u2211 (Mid month exchange Rate)*(Monthly expense / Year to date expense)
    Complexity of the current practice:
    We have 3 legal entities in Spain and their functional currency is EUR.
    Similarly, we have 3 legal entities in Germany having EUR as their functional currency.
    In order to perform a currency translation from EUR to USD - in a case like this,
    We need to maintain
    for each entity
    One weighted average rate for u2013 Revenues/ Costs/ Expenses
    In total there will be 6 weighted average rates for Revenues/ Costs/ Expenses.
    (And this is only for two entities)
    Has anyone come across a scenario like this??
    Can we achieve the weighted average rate calculations in SAP??
    Thanks!

    Thanks Dan!
    Did anyone work on a BCS system that is
    - productive - completed one year end close - was successfully audited
    and
    had met the following conditions for currency translation:
    Group currency - USD (Corporate office located in USA)
    More than one international subsidiary of which at least two had the same local currency
    If yes, how did you translate your P & L items??
