Convert Windows Media Player to something that will work on the IPOD

I just bought my I-Pod today, and I don't know what type of video will play on it. I was trying to upload some window media player files, but no luck. How do I get my Windows Media Player files to work on my I-Pod. Oh, yes, my computer is a Mac. I'm on OS X 3-9.
Thank you for your help!

Hi All, Thanks so much for responding to my question...not a powerpoint -- so forget that.  I have tried all of your suggestions.  First, the h264 route:  creates a file that is something on the order of 3X the size of the .mov (which was too big to begin with). Took forever -- became such a size that I couldn't get it onto a flash drive (11gb became 30+gb).
Now, if necessary, I'll take my machine to theirs and make a transfer via ethernet -- but that doesn't account for backup copies....
Second, I made an MPEG2 version and stored it on DVDs.  They would not play on the PC either. This is the way I have delivered to non-broadcast clients for years and has always worked.   I use the DVD MPEG2 Best  Quality 90 minutes and AAC audio settings.
I looked at the flip4mac site and of course, the version I need is the most expensive.  There must be some alternative to spending $180 to convert these files.
Again I thank you for your suggestions and taking the time to respond to my query.

  • Is there an HDR plug in that will work with the 64 bit version of PSE 13?

    Is there an HDR plug in that will work with the 64 bit version of PSE 13?  I was hoping that NIK HDR Pro2 would work since Elements 13 is now 64 bit, but unfortunately, that is not the case.

    The internal speakers work fine when I boot in Windows, but they don't appear as an option in the System Preferences Output selection when in OS X. Does anyone know what command I could use to tell it to use the internal speakers instead?
    Ideally it would be great if I could then just click between output options in System Preferences, but any solution at all would be greatly appreciated.
    I am not sure if this will help, but if you haven't already checked the settings in the Audio MIDI Setup utility, try 'em out. Most people don't know that utility exists, but it has additional audio routing/muting options that are not in Sound system preferences.

  • I'm a Dropbox user and I migrate between my iMac and a Toshiba notebook.  Is there Apple software that will work on the notebook allowing me to open Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents that I've placed in Dropbox?

    I'm a Dropbox user and I migrate between my iMac and a Toshiba notebook.  Anyone know if there is Apple software that will work on the Toshiba that will allow me to open Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents when I access them in Dropbox? 
    Maybe I should just always export from Pages into Word  (and likewise for the other types) before I upload to Dropbox?  I hope not!!

    If you don't want to export files and consider the Microsoft formats to be your basic working format, then you need to consider either using MsOffice for Mac or LibreOffice instead of the iWork suite.
    You could always run a virtualised OSX on the Toshiba, but I don't think Apple will appreciate me telling you how to do that.

  • Any Skype Video that will work with the A1 ?

    Is there a version of Skype Video that will work with the A1 ?
    Moderator Note: Edited subject to match content.

    Skype works wonderfully on the HTC Thunderbolt. The Tegra single core is just fine. It's not the chip, it's this device. As I've written as well, playback of any video is poor and any HD video is unwatchable. The phone plays HD video reasonably smoothly.
    The Skype issue is the same - the app sees that it is video capable but cannot find the front facing camera (or any camera for that matter.) I'm surprised to find that video functions on this device don't work very well. Hopefully the company will be behind supporting this device. I'm surprised that it has Gingerbread only but you can't expect them to dump these out without having made sure they worked properly just for simple things that have worked properly on comparable devices.

  • Convert Windows media Player WAV file to QuickTime

    I have been asked to e mail a windows media player WAV file in the Quick Time format. My PC has the free Quick Time 7.2 version. How can I convert these files from a WAV file to the Quick Time format? I see a Quick Time upgrade that appears to do the trick, just want to make sure. Thanks!!

    Clears the air a bit. Your file is .wma (Windows Media Audio) format.
    Mac users that have installed http://flip4mac.com will be able to hear the file. Older Mac users would use the Windows Media Player for Mac to listen to it.
    No conversion is needed for most Mac users.
    There are hundreds of third party apps that can convert audio and video formats. Some are free and others offer free trial conversions. A little Google searching should help you find what you need.

  • Since loading Firefox I can no longer access video replays on Windows Media Player. I get a message saying the material has downloaded but that it can't be played for reasons that are not correct

    I have been playing the video replays from Lone Star Park for years with no problem. I loaded Mozilla Firefox and now I can no longer access the replays. I get a message that data downloaded,Windows Media Player opens,but when I try to download, I get a message saying the video cannot be played. This is very important and I am thinking of removing Mozilla!

    Hi there
    I had the same problem and I found this answer to a similar question to ours, so I copied and pasted it for you
    Reset the device by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for approximately 10 seconds.  After it resets the message will be gone and you can go to settings > icloud and put in your password.
    That seems to be a bug with the password alert where it won't respond correctly sometimes.
    Hope this helps

  • Convert Windows Media Player playlist into iTunes??????

    How can I convert all of my playlists that I have saved in Windows Media Player into iTunes??? nothing is working!!

    Yes, though as I recall iTunes wants absoulte file paths. You either need to edit the playlist before import or use a script I wrote called ImportM3U which, as a bonus, can convert any unprotected WMA files on the fly and add them to the playlist.
    BTW, if you're going to try to get WMP & iTunes to share playlists you'd better disable any options for automatically organizing files. See Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely for more info.

  • Converting Windows Media Player Tunes to ITunes

    I have hundreds of songs recorded on my Windows Media Player, but can not determine how to convert them all to my ITunes for down load to my IPOD Shuffle without doing them one at a time or by re-downloading the CD on ITunes. Can anyone help me?! Gosh, it took forever to download all of this music originally and I almost feint to think of having to download each CD again in ITunes, there must be a better (easier) way! Help!

    iTunes cannot convert DRM protected files from Windows media player. Usually these are file puchased online.
    However WMP has an option to import CDs with copy protection. I guess you have this option selected.
    If the music you imported from CDs is copy protected and you want to use iTunes, you will have to import them again prefereably using iTunes.

  • Webcast in Windows Media Player format - Can I save this to my iPod

    There are news events that are webcast the next day using RealPlayer and Windows Media Player. They play as nice little videos in my web browser, complete with audio.
    Is there a way that these things can be captured and converted to a correct format for the iPod. I tried control-clicking (on Mac, equivalent to right-clicking in Windows) and 'download source' only yielded a 24k html document. So, I guess the first goal would be how to download the video file itself.
    Anyone have experience with how to do this? Please let me know how to go about it.
    Thank You,
    Ken

    I guess I am finding out that they are streaming and can't be downloaded. When I try to download they just download the link to the video.
    Maybe someone with experience in capturing online video can look at it for me and see if they know a way to capture it to my computer so I can convert it.
    It's so I can get the state of the union address that I missed part of the other night / webcast right at the top:

    Thank you so much for your help with this.

  • I bought an album on iTunes, and one of the songs plays for 7 seconds, then it stops playing. I even tried to play it in Windows Media Player and it didn't work there either. How do I make it work or get my money back?

    Please help.

    Music purchased and downloaded from iTunes will not play in the Windows Media Player.

    Restore them from the recycle bin if they are there, or your backup, or find an unerase or file recovery tool, or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if you have one.

  • Adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7.  Need replacement that will work.

    adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7.  need a replacement that will work.  any suggestions.

    I would recommend Acrobat 10.  You can find more details as well as a trial at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR.  It should be noted though that Acrobat 5 is too old of a version to qualify for the upgrade price I am sorry.

  • Is there ANY wireless mouse that will work with the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard?

    I have the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard and would like to purchase a wireless mouse that will accommodate my Apple products. I do understand that Apple's Magic Mouse is not compatible with the iPad 2, but would like to hear if there is any possibility that i could use a wireless mouse with my iPad.
      Thanks :)

    You don't have to purchase a mouse. You already have one, it's wireless and the only one that will work on an iPad.
