Converting mp4 to wmv file

Here is the whole picture. I have a newer iMac and I have a few movies in my itunes that I watch on my ipod touch. I would like to be able to save a copy of these movies to a flash drive memory stick and play them on a PC computer that only has Windows Media (no itunes or Quicktime). Is there a way to convert a copy in such a way with a program to make it work??
thanks

Try using WMV Studio to convert them.

Convert & burn .avi & .wmv files to DVD?

As a relative Mac newbie, I would like to know how to convert .avi & .wmv files that are on my hard drive to DVD-burnable format. I generally use Toast Titanium 6.0.7 for all disc burning. An acquaintance suggested that I use iMovie for this purpose, but -- excuse my ignorance -- how exactly and in a simple way do I do it (go from having .avi and/or .wmv files on my hard drive to being able to actually and successfully burn them to DVD)?
Trying to add the files to Toast's "DVD Video" pre-DVD-burn setting just brings up black screen stills to represent the file, leading me to believe there is a problem, because other video files I've burned in the past have loaded into Toast with a video still frame grab before burning.
Windows seems to be able to perform this function easily, but could anyone help with simple, direct info on how to do it with Mac Tiger?..
Is this all a codec issue? If so, why should it be (on an otherwise tech-savvy and adaptable Apple OS) and how do I rectify it in a straightforward and simple manner?
I should add that I can view .avi files on my Mac by using VLC Media Player, and the .wmv files by using Windows Media Player for Mac, but I want to be able to convert these files to DVD-burnable format, so I can view them on a television set-top DVD player...
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Here's a couple more suggestions that I use .Not so elegent but they work.
1. I use a VGA to TV converter box which plugs in to the VGA connection on the computer & gives S video or composite out & then plugin to the dv in from the camera. Then import to imovie for any editing & then burn away !Quick & dirty & it works eveytime. Of course you must have a vga connection at the back of your computer.
2. On the PC side I use Cyberlink Power Director. This accepts .wmv files & will convert to other formats & also send to mini dv camera tape if I want to burn to standalone DVD burner.

Converting QT to WMV files for PowerPoint presentation on PC

Hi All,
I have a client on a tight budget who wants to incorporate some talking heads into their Powerpoint presentation on their PC. I did a test with a full resolution Quicktime file but they could not play it.
My plan is to export as a Windows Media Player file but I'm not sure if there are any settings that I should be aware of before I deliver.
I am editing in DV 720 x 480. Can I keep this file size and just export at full quality?
I have both VisualHub and Flip4Mac software.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks for the reminder on the size, Jim.
quick question. I've done a test using the Flip4Mac preset - One pass VBR, Presentation (high) and the clips play fine of their PC. The client is happy, But, and this is a big but for me.... I can see some green leaking through around the heads. I have worked very hard on the key using the DVGarage plug-in and it's clean on my computer.
Is something happening during the conversion to wmv? The bitrate on the presentation preset is only 80 with a peak bit rate of 160, a far cry from the 1600k cbr that you suggested. I need to deliver today and I'm not sure if I should be experimenting too much at this stage, but, on the other hand, they will be using a projector.
I could really use some advice.
Cheers,
Chris

Converting MP4 t swf file

I need help converting an MP4 to the swf format to
put director movie online

Hey Gary,
Thank you. You're the first person who actually got me going. I'm on the
right path. I was able to use the demo of mac's Video Flash Encoder to get
a demo flash video onto a page on my site, but, unfortunately without
sound. I'm hoping that I can now figure out how to add sound and make the
video a controllable streaming video with play and pause and volume, with
control. Do you have any more suggestions?
Gratefully, Bob

Converting wmv file to fl

I have a flash animation that was created in a wmf file and i need to convert it to a file that is compatible with Adobe Fl

As far as I know, if you want to convert .flv to .wmv file,
you need a third party to help you complete the progress, such as
Moyea FLV to video converter which
can convert FLV files to video and audio formats such as WMV, AVI,
MPEG, MP4,3GP, MOV, MP3,3G2, WMA, DV and etc.

Converting mp4 files to mp3

I'm trying to send a song which has been downloaded from i-tunes to my phone via bluetooth, but my phone doesn't have an mp4 player on it, and ive tried converting it but even when I thought I did, i still cant play it on my phone, therefore does anyone know if it is possible to convert mp4 into mp3 files or any other advise gratefully welcomed.
Thanks ben

If you've downloaded it from the iTunes Store, then you won't be able to play the file on your phone because iTunes Store purchased tracks are protected against copying/conversion to MP3.
If the file is ripped from your own CD you can convert it using the guide here:
http://askbobrankin.com/convertitunes_to_mp3format.html
Otherwise, you will have to burn an audio CD of the track(s), then re-rip them in MP3 format for your phone.

Can I transfer Mpeg and wmv files to my Ipad and how do I do it?

Just wondering if you can do this

Yes, you can transfer your mpeg or wmv files to you iPad, but they can not be played in iPad, as they are not supported with iPad. So to play them in iPad normally, you should first convert your mpeg or wmv files to mp4, mov, or avi, then transfer the converted mp4(mov, avi) file to your iPad.
What you need is a video converter, and there are many ones on App store or Google. And I just got Total Video Converter, it depends on your demands.

Help needed in creating WMV File

Greetings...I have been given a 10:30 Beta copy of a project that needs to be converted into a .wmv file. I did not edit this project in FCP, however, it is a FCP edited project and still exists as a FCP project on another Mac Powerbook. It was just exported onto to Beta tape for TV playback purposes.
The project needs to be converted to a .wmv and this is a new process for me. I've consulted my work books but am not quite sure as to the process. Do I save the project as a QuickTime Movie and then launch Compressor and import it? If so, I am in need of some direction as this is a new process to be learned...Are there any links/tutorials available that can guide me?
Thank you.
Thom

Thanks for the Reply,
I have been in touch with Craig over the last few days. The strange thing to me is that I use Sorenson Squeeze on the same system (with the WMV settings all exactly the same as I had set in Compressor) and the job completes 100% with no problems.
As I told Craig at F4M, I don't think this is a F4M issue. Also, other jobs I submit via Compressor (ie, to .m2v for DVD authoring) work fine.

How to convert .mp4 or .flv to mp3?

I've been searching for Mac software that lets me convert mp4 or flv files to mp3, but I can't seem to find any at all. I know of some that work on windows, but since I have a macbook pro I want a program that works on it.
It doesn't have to be free, I don't mind paying for the software if it actually works...So if anyone knows of anything please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I use iSquint to convert the .flv to .mp4.
Then AudioExtract to rip the audio off (in AIFF format).
I add the new file to iTunes and convert it to .mp3, sometimes.
It's all freeware, but it'll ask you every time to donate or purchase.
There are no restrictions on iSquint.
There is a 3 file limit on AudioExtract. But all you have to do is quit after the first one and open it again.
Before I had AudioExtract, I'd import the .mp4 into iMovie and put in in a movie file and extract audio that way.

Converting .asf and .wmv to .mpeg?

Is there a way to convert .wmv files to .mp4?

Hi there - I've been given a disc by a friend with some videos on it, but they're in .wmv format.
Is there any way I can convert them to .mp4 so they're actually compatible with my MacBook / QuickTime?
Preferably without having to download or buy any software - someone helped me with a similar problem to this before and it was possible by using certain settings in GarageBand.
Any help would be appreciated.

ARF converted to MP4 or WMV shows desktop which don't see in ARF

Hello,
We are hoping to use WebEx to record training videos, and I was excited to see the "new" cability to convert ARF files to MP4 and WMV in a much easier way than the past and without the 'tinny' noise. Great job, Cisco!
Can someone help with my questions/issues below? We have to make this go live on Friday!
FIRST QUESTION
So we recorded our first video and it turned out great. We put slides fullscreen which looked great for readability, however when I converted the ARF to WMV and MP4 some of the desktop shows under the slides. So the slides are no longer shown full screen and it is harder to view them and distracting.
Please see the attached screen shots which show:
what i see when I view the downloaded ARF recording (it shows slides full screen)
what i see after I converted ARF to WMV (it shows the teal background below the slides now, instead of slides full screen like ARF)
what i see after I converted ARF to MP4 (it shows the teal background below the slides now, instead of slides full screen like ARF)
I am on a PC running Windows 7 Enteprise Service Pack 1. I am using the Network Recording Player to open the ARF and convert. I guess we just have the standard Meeting Center.
Can I convert ARF to WMV or MP4 and not have that distracting/unattractive desktop show up? I want it to be like the ARF looks.
SECOND QUESTION
I need to edit out some sections of the video (the beginning and ending so have a clean start and end plus an outlook alert popped up in the middle of the presentation accidentally that we need to edit out). I see that Cisco provides a "WebEx Recording Editor" for editting WRF files but I have not found the same for ARF files. Does an editor for ARF exist? Or do I convert this to MP4 or WMV and then import into iMovie or some other third party editor to do the changes?
THIRD QUESTION
When I record the output is ARF. That is the only format. I don't see a WRF format. Can I get both an ARF and WRF format in future?
Thanks, in advance, for any and all help!

Hi Laura,
Per your post, I understand you are using WebEx SaaS (in the cloud) solution, and not Cisco WebEx Meetings Server product (which doesn't yet offer the ability to download recordings). Since this community is observed by Cisco WebEx Meetings Server experts and not WebEx SaaS experts, in order to get answers to your questions, I would advise you to reach to Cisco WebEx Support team by calling the following number 1.866.229.3239 and discuss these issues.
I hope this is of help.
