Convert photostory1.wmv to .mov

A friend still creates a 5 minute photo/music slideshow using photostory1 every month. She does not want to change to any other software. I have tried most every conversion method found in this community and from other places. I have not been able to convert .wmv file to .mov file to add to final cut pro movie. I would like use a free trial program to try and then maybe pay for full version. The new mac app 'Smart Converter' will not do the conversion. Among the ones recently tried and failed are VLC, ffmpgX and easywmv and others that I can not remember. I do not need to broadcast the final combined movie on iphone/ipod/ipad or any other mobile device. I am using SnowLeopard and will download Lion next week when available.
Help and Thanks

is Insert Video icon above this text box but it is grayed out and not usable.
To my knowledge, this function has yet to be activated.
Where would I attach the video? It is only 9.4 MB and about 5 minutes long.
As previously stated, a 9.4 MB sample file can be be emailed as an attachment. (Check user profiles to find user email addresses if posted and available.) Otherwise, the sample clip is usually uploaded to an online server and the URL of its location is posted here. Right-clicking (Control-Click on a Mac) then allows interested readers to download the file directly to their computer.

How can i convert a .wmv to .mov or .mpg?

I don't need to convert the file so I can view it.
I'm hosting this video on a website and I want to enable users the option to download the file in either .mov/.mpg4 format or .wmv format.
Does anybody know if there is a free converter out there?
Also, I have VLC for my .wmv's but it stopped working recently. Now when I try to play a .wmv in VLC the video doesn't work, but the sound does, and I get this error message:
"main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `WMV3'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format."
Thanks,
Jacob

I find the free iSquint to be the easiest GUI for these projects...some people dump on it since the interface is so simple, but just use the Advanced Mode if you want to tinker.

Alternatively, if you have QTPro, you can download and install the Flip4Mac beta for intel components (posted in this forum) - that way, QT will play the WMV file natively and you can simply "save it" as a .mov. I've pretty much left VLC in the dust for even attempting to play WMV files after installing the F4M beta. It is, of course, still invaluable for a zillion other reasons.

Convert wmv to mov was working...

I am trying to convert my wmv to mov format so I can them to DVD. It worked for 2 movies, then it failed. Now all I get is an error stating "THe movie can not be opened."
What happened? How can I get Quicktime 7.1.2 to convert my wme files to mov files? OR is there a better way to get wme files to DVD? Thanks!

Just as a point of clarification, do you have Flip4Mac installed to do the conversion?
The WMV Studio app from them, at $50-, works with iMovie, which should then work with iDVD...

Converted .wmv to .mov will no longer play in quicktime

I have converted .wmv to .mov using the quicktime 7.6.4 save as feature and saved them to an external WD hard drive. They have been playing fine for months until yesterday, now i have a black quicktime screen, no sound or audio as the file plays, all that I have changed recently is that i have updated Flip4mac from 2.3.3.2 to 2.3.3.3 and updated Safari to version 4.1. I have run an Onyx maintenance scrypt and disc utility to try a repair a possible permissions or disc error, still no luck. I read an article on the Flip4mac site that suggested I export the file in quicktime, this has not worked. When viewing the files info it states the files codecs are windows media audio 9 standard*, windows media video 9 standard". After reading some other posts I installed Perian, but still no luck. If anyone can help to get these movie files operational again please advise.

I got an answer on the macformat forum that works, refer the attached link

What's the best WMV to MOV Video Converter?

Hi,
What's the best .WMV to .MOV Video Converter?
I'm trying to edit imported .WMV files in iMovie HD but iMovie HD doesn't seem to recognize .WMV files.
Any help would be greately appreciated,
Thank you.

Those other posters are steering you in the right direction. Flip4Mac is the best thing for this, and all the paid functions will work in the free downloaded version, there's just some limitations on the length of any one clip, and a watermark on the video, but it will let you see how well it works...well worth the affordable $.

How do I convert wmv to mov files for fcp?

I have tried a couple of different conversion programs to convert a wmv file to mov or mp4, and all seem to result in a viewable mp4, but when I import into final cut and try to put the footage into my sequence, it won't render. The sound renders, but the video remains "unrendered." I'm using a Pro res 422 sequence. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix the problem?
Thanks

Convert WMV to MOV?

I am trying to pull stills from a WMV video. I'm assuming that the first step is to convert the file to MOV?
1: How do I do that, what are some trusted softwares i do not want to download something that will damage my computer.
2: How do i pull those quality stills using Final Cut Pro?
Thank You!

flip4mac has a bunch of different options some of which will allow you to convert files to qt.
http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm
There's a free option that will allow you to play wmv's. you might get away with just doing a screen grab (command-shift 4)
Once you've got the file in a quicktime, you can export a still in fcp file:export: quicktime conversion: still image.

WMV to MOV converter

I am trying to convert a .wmv file created in Movie Maker on a PC and load it in Iweb. Flip4MAc works fine for viewing on the MAC side, but PC viewers can't open the converted quicktime file.
I'd like to convert wmv to a more universal movie format such as .mov.
Is there a free converter that works?
Thanks,
Mary

Flip4Mac has functioning import and export in trial mode as well. I prefer it over V hub....many more pro features and, IMO, better company and support, overall. The price is quite reasonable, too, but try your conversion and see how it works for you.

How can I find a converter for wmv movies

Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft). This will enable you to play the video. To convert it you will need the paid-for Pro version of Flip4Mac.

Trying to convert to wmv using "share"

i'm trying to convert avi files in i movie to wmv using share.
I have limited success e.g have a 30 second clip which when converted using share comes out edited to 15 secs!
Anyone got any ideas?
If not any free avi to wmv converters around?
Thanks!

Hi John,
I've got to ask. Why are you bothering to convert to WMV? What's wrong with Quicktime? If your target computer is a Windoze PC you can install Quicktime on it.
iMovie is not a file converting program and does not like AVI at the best of times. Convert your AVI containers to either DV or MOV first then import them to iMovie if you must. However, you may find you lose the audio when you convert the AVI files depending on how they were created. If so, you may need a more advanced converter like Visual Hub, but it's not free. It costs $25 (US). I have it and it rocks!
Here's a link to a free converter 'ffmpegX'.
http://ffmpegx.com/download.html
You can aslo try Mpeg Streamclip, but I don't know if it will convert to WMV.

Trouble with converting downloaded .wmv file

Hi there, when I tried to repeat the process on a film that I bought and downloaded to my pc today (.wmv file). The free software I tried refuses to read it. I am going on holiday tomorrow and I wanted to have some films to watch. PLEASE HELP !!!!

Do you mean Amazon Instant Videos? They are DRM protected and cannot be transferred or played on other computer or portable devices without authorization. Don’t worry, try this DRM removal too – Pavtube ChewTune, I used it for converting my iTunes DRM movies for quite a long time, and it worked like a charm.
