CAN COMPRESSOR COMPRESS TO A WMV (Windows media player file?)

Hi,
Just curious if Compressor or better yet for what I am doing final cut can compress to a wmv (windows media format)? for the sake of downloading of our website.
thank you

Actually once you install Flip4Mac it works within compressor too. Just select quicktime export components when creating a new compression proifile and you will see all the WMV options.

  • After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files with flip4mac anymore

    After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files anymore. I use flip4mac pro 3.0 and quicktime 7.6.6.
    The message I receive is: De bewerking kan niet worden voltooid. (OSStatus fout -50). I also have problems with zip files that can not be saved on the desktop anymore while unzipping.

    I actually installed Quicktime pro and Flip4Mac Pro again after I bought the Retina Macbook. Today I did it again but still get the same OSStatus error -50. I guess there is some old file that has to be removed. Flip4Mac comes with an uninstaller. Quicktime does not.
    I read that his could be something with security that is why I mention the problem with the zip files as well.

  • Which Code of avi can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

    Which Code of avi also can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

    Nevermind ... not that simple apparently. I managed to get one of the avi's in the CS5 project created automatically when opening the original CS4 project to show the entire contents but can't replicate the behavior to another project using the same avi. Here are the media start, end, duration and video in, out duration values for the file. Viewing the avi in the source monitor I can see the full 16+ minutes. Odd disconnect between the 2 sets of values.
    Any idea would be great!
    Thanks,

  • Windows media player files to itunes

    How can I trasfer my Windows Media Player Files to my Ipod

    Open itunes.
    First go to the edit menu, select preferences, click the advanced tab, and select importing.For best song capacity on the ipod, make sure that the encoder is set to "Import using AAC encoder", and "High quality 128 kbps". Hit OK.
    Then go to file menu, then go to "add file to library" or if its a whole folder "add folder to library".
    Select the song or songs you want to add, then hit open. A box will come up saying "one or more of the files you are adding are wma files",click ok and itunes will convert them into aac format (this could take a while if you have a number of songs). It should be noted that this will only work with unprotected WMA files, not ones bought off of the windows media store or imported to windows media with protection.
    Once the music is in your ipod library there are a few ways to get it onto the ipod. Here are two.
    Manual
    Connect the ipod, go to the edit menu then preferences and select "manually update songs and playlists" Then , from the itunes library, highlight all the songs you want on your ipod by holding the shift key and clicking on the last song. Right click and go to copy. Click on your ipod at the left hand side of itunes, then go to the edit menu and paste the songs into the ipod.
    Automatic
    This is the default mode on ipods.For automatic mode,connect the ipod, go to the edit menu, then preferences, and tick "automatically update all songs and playlists" and also tick "update checked songs only". Once you have added song to your library, simply untick the boxes of the songs that you do not want to be transferred onto your ipod, then itunes will automatically update only the songs that you have ticked.
    Sorry its a bit long, but hopefully it helps. Post back if you have any problems

  • Windows Media Player file format invalid

    I'm running Mac OS 10.3.9 and the latest Windows Media Player 9.0.0. Sometimes when I try to open Windows Media Player files (.asx) people send me I get "Cannot play back the file. The file format is invalid." How can I get these files to play?
    Or is there another Mac application that will play these file (.asx) file formats?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the discussions Terry!
    Videolan's VLC will play almost anything.Also, it's freeware.

  • Can't run some MOV in Windows Media Player

    I find that some of my MOV files will run in Windows Media Player and some will not. I'm not sure what is causing this and don't know where to start. The only things I know that is different is that in the details the MOV's that won't play don't have any height or width. There is no error I can find.

    I generate a large number of MOV files every week for the media company I work  for. 100% work as expected and have for some time now. We spent months finding the right variables to produce a file type that was optimal for the applications we use to display multiple full motion content. All these files were only a portion of the screen with a banner running below (weather, news ticker, etc.). Recently I was asked to produce MOV files that take up the entire screen. 0% of them work and I have only changed the screen size. I have been converting them to WMV's to make it work but that is extra work and I don't have the time to maintain two sets of content for my clients and my clients don't want to handle two sets either. I think I am missing a setting or something that is causing the full screen movies to output with no height or width.

  • Can't download plug in for windows media player. Have used download site and it says it worked, but plug in is not showing up on my list of plug ins.

    I tried to hear a conference call on a website. Got a message, needed windows media plug in. Checked my plug ins, no windows media. Read tutorial on firefox support. Clicked on download. Got a window that asked for repair or change. Tried repair, then change. Need better directions on how to finish download. Got message download successful, but after closing firefox and reopening, still no plug in for windows media in list of plug ins. Went to site and could not hear conference.
    Read support forum. Message about using about:config. Tried this, typed in about: config in start menu, but didn't see anything that looked like I could change to true like message said.
    solved by opening internet explorer and going to website and listening to conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying click here if you want to enable media player. Did so, heard conference.
    Tried using chrome. Got to hear conference yesterday. Today, there was same message about needing plug in when I tried to follow instructions to get plug in, it was as confusing and useless as firefox. The bottom line is I tried to do everything set forth in firefox's forum suggestions and can't get the windown media plug in to show up in my list of plug ins and can't hear conference calls on firefox.
    Chrome did say they were working on getting plug in available at chrome store.
    I agree with comments that I was able to go to web sites and hear calls before firefox made an update that removed my windows media plug in. The simple download fix, presumeably from windows, does not work, apparently because firefox can't find the fix. That is not the user's fault, and it looks like windows tried to provide a fix, and firefox won't recognize it.
    Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, than try and get the windows media player plug in installed on firefox. What good is a browser, if you can't hear a call on the website that the browser takes you to? Please make it easy to install the windows media plug in on firefox. Thank you..

    Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
    There apparently are two ways to address this:
    (1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
    This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
    (2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
    Open a Windows Explorer window to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
    Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
    Right-click and paste
    Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
    After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
    ''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

  • Can't download album art from Windows Media Player

    Just got my very first mp3 player (Zen 6g) and I'm having trouble getting windows media player to recognize my cd info. When I rip Lord of the Rings: Return of the King soundtrack it shows up as "unknown" in WMP. When I try to "find album info" I get a message saying "cannot display web page". Do I need to download WMP again to fix this? I'm not very computer literate and I'm losing my patience very quickly. Thanks for any help.

    You can manually enter the track and album information if you want, if the automatic way isn't working. Where you connected to the internet when you clicked on Find Album Info? It connects to a database to collect the information about the CD, it could be there was a problem with the internet connection, or your connection is blocking those checks.
    Are you doing this at home or in work? If at home, do you have a firewall or any other internet security set up?

  • Can listen to my songs in Windows Media Player. No audio with You Tube etc. (???)

    Very frustrated. I have alot of good stuff i
    n folders I can listen to in Windows Media Player. I can adjust my volume up & down etc. I
    go to YouTube to watch and listen....NOTHING, no audio.
    #1. I do have latest Flash Player installed
    #2. I did uninstall and reinstall it.
    #3. I have gone into START>MY COMPUTER and adjust volume settings etc.
    #4. While a video plays in YouTube right-clicked and gone into Global Settings
            and turned up volume there etc.
    Anything else I am missing?
    Thank you!

    See:
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/No+sound+in+Firefox
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Video+or+audio+does+not+play
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
    Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />

  • Not able to open Windows Media Player files with Quicktime Pro

    Hi,
    I have recently downloaded a couple of videos that I am planning to use in FCP. The file extension of the downloaded videos is .asf and I am able to play them with Windows Media Player. However, to use them in FCP I have to convert them into Quicktime format. I have Quicktime Pro version 7.0.4 and I was told that I should be able to open the files in Quicktime therefore automatically converting them into quicktime files. It's not working and I am completely out of options and ideas.
    Please help if you ever had that problem.
    Thanks in advance

    As I understand it M$ is providing additional distribution as a sort of "seal of approval."
    Don't forget WMV/WMA is a proprietary codec from M$ and involves licensing. In that sense they're providing resources. Apparently the Flip4Mac folks are actually building it themselves though.
    Think of it as being in the construction business and you're required to buy the lumber from only one source but you still have to build the house yourself.
    I've just got done downloading the newer version and
    I hope for improvements.
    It looks like M$ is giving some resources to the
    flip4mac creators. Maybe a M$ "plant" all along?

  • Windows media player files will not play. I downloaded the plug in but does not show up under plugins. Why won't it load?

    Whenever I try to play a wmv file through firefox it will not load. It was not a problem a few weeks ago. Under plugins it is saying I do not have windows media player. So I tried downloading it using the troubleshooting directions from firefox. But it still will not show up under plugins. Any help would be much appreciated.

    '''np-mswmp''' in your Installed Plugins listing ''(in '''More system details''' to the right of your posting)'' is the Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox.
