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.

  • 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.

  • How to play .wma and other Windows Media Player-format files/videos on Mac?

    Hi again,
    I will be asking stupid questions as I'm a newbie to Mac, so please bear with me. There are some video format that QuickTime player doesn't play e.g. .wma files. I tried a couple of times to download Windows Media Player for Mac but it doesn't install on my Mac! Do I require a software similar to Zipfile or does Mac has it all build in?
    PS - What is the coequal of "delete" button here in Mac (keyboard)?

    Download and install Flip4Mac - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - to play Windows Media files via Quicktime. Also get Perian to provide additional codecs for other video formats.
    The Delete key is on the keyboard next to the "=" key.

  • Editing photo story in Windows media player to show in quicktime?

    Is this possible?

    I know the cause of this: If you record using an iPhone with the volume buttons pointed at the ceiling, the resulting video plays upside-down in Windows Media Player. QuickTime is smart enough to correct and rotate automatically. Not so WMP. I have several clips that were recorded with the volume buttons pointed up. If I use QuickTime Player to rotate the clips, then they are correct when viewed in WMP, but upside-down in QuickTime Player!
    Your assumptions are only partially correct. When you record the clip on your iPhone, the clip is recorded just as you see it in the WMP—i.e., upside down. What the iPhone does is records an addition file value that tells Apple media players which edge to display as the "top" during playback. Since third-party media players ignore this value, they display the clip in its original orientation which, in your case is upside down. When you flip the video orientation using QT 7 Pro, you're telling QT media players to play the file with an "upside down" orientation. By exporting the "flipped" orientation, you are, in fact, re-encoding the original "upside down" to a "right-side up" display but simultaneously telling all Apple media players to play the file upside down.
    Is there any way to fix these clips so they are right-side up in both worlds? Or is there no choice but to re-record everything with iPhone's volume buttons pointed at the floor?
    Actually, you can do either. That is, you can either "fix" the original recordings or re-record the the clips in a manner that avoids this problem. To "fix" your original files, simple open the files in an Apple media player (like QT 7 Pro) and export the files. The player will note the current "top" orientation and re-encode the content using the current display orientation for both QT and third-party players.

  • 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.

  • Firefox 5.0 doesn't play Window Media Player (WMV) files.

    Not sure when this problem occurred since I don't really play WMV files until recently, but I do remember it working correctly before Firefox 4.0. Whenever I load any type of WMV file in Firefox, it doesn't seem to play the files. The "Play" is there, and it seems that the file is completely loaded, but when I press the play button, it says "Connecting", then it doesn't say anything and nothing appears. Before, I would get a message on the bottom telling me the % of the download/stream was buffered, but not anymore. Any idea what the cause of this might be?

  • Windows Media Player (wmv files)

    Just wondering. Ever since I purchased this new intel core duo mac (I love absolutely love it by the way), I was wondering why anything associated with windows media player does not run correctly when used with safari. For example, mlb.com or espn.com don't function correctly and these are only a few among many sites. Does anyone know why or have any ideas? I downloaded and installed (and have since deleted) the flip4mac player (which sucked and didn't work correctly). Any tips or advice would be great! Thanks.

    Re-download and re-install the Flip4Mac component. Once correctly installed, find your Safari application in your Applications folder. Go to "Get Info" and tick the selection which allows your browser to operate under Rosetta. Now launch Safari and surf both mlb.com and espn.com. All the video functionality on those sites will function correctly - I just tested both on my intel box.
    Until such time as Telestream releases a optimized version of their Flip4Mac component, you'll need to launch Safari under Rosetta to view video content streaming WMV. It's not a perfect solution (you'll find it a bit slower vis-a-vis running native), but it's a solid work-around for the time-being.

  • Windows Media Player Install File!

    Hello i've just got my new Macbook...and eksrtemly happy
    but i can't open a lot of movies on the Internet/Safari..I've Found the Instal file for WMP but it is a .Sitx File...And my Mac can't open it!
    Help is needed!
    Thanks Mathias

    Download Flip4Mac instead which provides the same functionality as WMP. Microsoft has stopped supporting WMP with Apple and OS X so there will be no additional upgrades or new versions provided. The Flip4Mac download is provided as a disk image which requires nothing else for access. A download with a .sit extension requires downloading and installing Stuffit Expander which is no longer pre-installed on new Macs by Apple.

  • Windows Media Player plugin & Safari - Quicktime opens up???

    Everytime I'm on a website and I click on a video clip that is a windows media player video file (wmv), the file opens up with the quicktime plug in - and the whole wmv won't play. I have to download the clip to see the whole thing in my Windows Media Player.
    How do I set up Safari so it will play wmv clips with a windows media player plug in so I don't have to download a bunch of video clips that I just wanted to see on a website.

    This is what you need flip4mac. Just go to the link and download it.

  • EXPORT LONG FILES IN 1080p for Windows Media Player

    Hello, need some help in exporting and encoding some large files from Premiere CS6.
    We have 4 Sequences, each totalling 45minutes in length and in 1080p (ProRes422).
    We need to export and encode for Windows Media Player as quickly as possible.
    Looks like each export is going to take over an hour from Premiere as "Match Sequence Settings"
    -keep in mind there is NO AUDIO.
    Once it's out of Premiere as an MPEG, I can transcode to any format. Ultimately WMV would be optimal,
    but we need to transcode the MPEG into a MOV file before 'Episode' will accept it, just to make the WMV files.
    Target files: (4) 1080p Windows Media Player compatible files
    Does anyone have a better workflow workaround? Midnight hour and need help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Dan

    Thanks Jim, I can't export to WMV out of Premiere or Media Encoder. I use Episode to make my WMV files, and since Episode doesn't take MPEG in from Premiere (sigh)
    I have to first make them in Quicktimes..
    But yes! Anything Windows Media Player can handle... should I just go with the 5GB MPG files? No way for me to test, I'm on a Mac and these are playing on a PC
    thanks for your help

  • How do I save/convert IMovie clips to be able to play in Windows Media Player?

    I am new to IMovie and have a new MacBookPro Retina. I have made several movies and want to be able to share them with friends on their PC. How can I save/convert them for them to play them in Windows Media Player?

    file/share/ and select 'file' again.. creates a mp4, which is compatible with any player software.
    or, in case ....
    If want to 'convert' older exports, with a mov or m4v of whatever suffix, use he free tool Mpeg Streamclip, open the file, choose direct 'Save as' again, and select in the drop-down menu mp => NO conversion, just 're-wrapping', blazing fast and lossless ...

  • Emailing song to open with Windows Media Player

    Does anyone know how to send a song from iTunes to someone as an email attachment that will be in a format Windows Media Player can open?
    When I copy a song it always comes out as a Real Player file. I want it as a Windows Media Player appropriate file.

    You're not going to be able to convert a m4a (which can be played in iTunes OR real player) file like that on the fly. Especially if it's a protected file that was purchased from the iTunes Store. If it wasn't purchased from the iTunes Store, you can find a converter program that will convert the files to WMA. Just google it -- I am sure they exist. From there, you can email it as a WMA.
    Or, you could convert the song (if it's not protected) into an mp3 file within iTunes. The mp3 file could be email and opened within Windows Media player.

  • Playback on Windows Media Player?

    When saving a video for playback on a computer, it gives several options for file type. I need one that will allow playback on Windows Media Player. I see the for playback using Quicktime. Will this also play in WMP or which one do I select for this purpose? Thank you!

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Windows 8 and 8.1 64 bit (independent of Premiere Elements) have problems with what will or will not play in its Windows Media Player. Files with MPEG2 compression seem to be a major problem in that regard.
    I have been able to open videos with the .mov file extension in Windows Media Player or QuickTime (better results in QuickTime) on Windows 7 and 8.1 64 bit.  But a rule of thumb might be to try either player for your file, if problems, download and install the VLC player and determine if that works for your overall video playback needs. There is also a Media Classic Player HC that you might want to consider.

  • Windows Media Player is driving me mad

    I've recently gotten myself an imac to accompany my powerbook.
    I transferred my profile accross from the powerbook, and it seems to work okay.
    Except for one thing. Windows media player will not work. I get an 'unexpectantly quit' message before it fully opens.
    Now, the really strange thing is that in an alternative profile, on the same imac, using the same installation of windows media player, it works fine!
    Any suggestions?
