Converting to the correct file type - Help.

Hey guys, I have 7 videos which are 720p quality but are .wmv format. And as you may know, this .wmv format cannot be imported into iMovie 09.
I've tried ffmpegX which is a free converter to try get the videos into .mov format so i can edit them in iMovie 09. But it just converts instantly and the file it converted too won't open so i'm guessing the conversion failed.
So my question is, what else can i try that can convert these .wmv format to .mov and keep the best quality possible?
Thank you very much for your time,
Kraikky.

First download the free version of Flip4Mac. Then you should be able to play the files on your Mac using QuickTime PLayer.
If it works, download one of the Flip4Mac paid versions so you can do the conversion. Also download MPEG Streamclip (which is free)
Use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec.

  • When I try to save an email attached file, the file name is automatically convertied to "attachment.ashx" although the correct file type is recognized. How do I retain the original file name?

    This problem occurred after the most recent update to firefox 8.0.
    After right clicking on the attached file, I click on save link as.
    The correct file type is recognized. However the file name is converted to "attachment.ashx".
    When I rename the file, it downloads properly and is opened by the appropriate program.
    However, I should not have to rename each downloaded file.
    In particular, this is happening with Word files and with Scientific Notebook (.tex) files.

    Cor-el, thank you for your advice. I was able to navigate to my Profile Folder and I deleted the mimeTypes.rdf file. I then closed Firefox and restarted it. The problem was still there, and I found that the mimeTypes.rdf file had been re-created.
    I tried your second suggestion, but the files you mentioned were not present so there was nothing to reset.
    Any other suggestions?

  • I am sending a single-page poster in Illustrator to a commercial printer. There are several placed graphics and I want to choose the correct file-type to keep my Illustrator file nice and small.

    I am sending a single-page poster in Illustrator to a commercial printer. There are several placed graphics and I want to choose the correct file-type to keep my Illustrator file nice and small.

    Printers like PDFs, but you should consult with the print vendor before you save the file in any particular format.  Each vendor is different and have an established workflow.  They may not accept JPGs.  If the poster prints offset, you will need to supply the appropriate resolution per their request or what they require. If the poster is large format or grand format, then they will or should know what resolution is appropriate.  However, large format inkjet only requires 144-150ppi at 100% final size.  Try to get in the habit of consulting with the print vendor early on so you end up supplying what is needed.

  • Identifying the correct MIME type for file uploads

    How does Apex identify the MIME type of an uploaded file? I have a page that uploads a file and accesses it via APEX_APPLICATION_FILES. That works fine. The problem is that, for certain file types, the mime_types column is "application/octet-stream" instead of the correct file type. I think it's using the Content-Type from the client browser, though I'm not quite sure. Is there any way to override this server-side in Apex?
    I'm running Apex with mod_plsql. Adding an AddType directive to Apache and adding the correct association to the mime.types file did not work.

    Hi,
    I also noticed this - it seems that Microsoft's 4 char extensions like .docx are not being recognized by application type so that either the web server or mod-plsql is defaulting to the "application/octet-stream" mime type which refers to a file with binary content - instead of the traditional "application/msword" mime type you would expect.
    If you know, at the point of insert into your database table, both the mime type and file name, one workaround would be to check if the mime type is 'application/octet-stream' and the file's extension is ".docx" or other likely extensions and then treat it as mime type 'application/msword", etc.
    Not really a solution but might be sufficient workaround depending on your situation.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

    Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the  PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and  it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

I'm trying to open the CR2 files in Bridge to adjust them before I open them up in Photoshop, but it's giving me an error code saying it's the wrong file type.

Please let me know what I can do to open the CR2 files directly in Bridge CS4, thank you!

  • Error: JAR did not have the correct media type

    *** Error ***
    A problem occured during deploying application from http://127.0.0.1:1267/Video.jad
    Reason:
    JAR did not have the correct media type, it had application/x-java-archive
    E:\Documents and Settings\MatLab2.R\My Documents\NetBeansProjects\Video\nbproject\build-impl.xml:202: exec returned: 1 BUILD FAILED (total time: 3 seconds)I encountered this just once when I run the sample code from JavaFX here using a mobile emulator. This code is for adding a media player. After that one time, the output doesn't contain error messages anymore and the screen just goes blank.
    What does this error mean?
    I used:

    Netbeans 6.8

    Hi!
    I had the same problem as you did. I just found that the problem is that we only add the type JAD to the mime types, but we also have to add the JAR type.
    Just add the following line to the mime.types file and it will work:
    application/java-archive      jar

  • Suppress the Default File Types dialogue, Office 2013 C2R

    Hi.
    We are doing a rather large Office 365 Proplus deployment using click-to-run via SCCM. We have the relevant group policys configured for the most part but we can't figure out how to get rid of the Default File Types dialogue box that pops up during the first
    run of any of the Office applications. It asks the user if he/she wants to use Office XML or OpenOffice document formats.
    When using the MSI-version and a custom install the administrator can answer this before creating the deployment package, but this is obviously not possible using C2R.
    We have tried to set HKEY_USERS\<user_SID>\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General
    /v ShownFileFmtPrompt to 1, but it doesn't work. We have also set the default file type for each application but on first run, the dialogue box still shows.
    How can we achieve a simple deployment from a user perspective? The picture below is the setting we want to configure.
    Best regards
    Joakim

    Dito. This should have been solved when Office 2013 launched and there's still no official solution?

  • How can I change the default "file type" in the open file dialog when using Firefox on certain web pages?

    I work for a bankruptcy attorney. We use the Court's file upload to file our documents. When I am on the Court's site and I have to pick a file to upload, the "open file" dialog box pops up. In Firefox, the default "file type" is always "image" files. I need it to be "all files". How can I change this setting?

    Two observations.
    First — "Tools-> ...." is specific to Acrobat X and XI. It did not exist prior to Acrobat X.
    Second — Acrobat 9 Pro / Standard (nor earlier release) does not support viewing a PDF page containing a scanned image and performing a right-click  ... Save Image As. 
    The context menu provided by Acrobat 9 Pro with a right-click on a scanned image is:

  • PDF does not remain in the Registered file types list

    I've installed Adobe Reader X. The PDF file type was not automatically associated with Adobe Reader. So, I went through the standard process of adding it to the Windows Registered file types. It does not remain in the list. I've checked the box to "Always use the selected program.....", but when I reopen the Registered File types window, PDF is not there. PDFX is there and registered to open with Adobe Reader, but not PDF.

    I forgot to mention, I'm running Windows XP SP3.

  • Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?

    Want to change the 'default' extension for PL/SQL source to '*.prc'
    When navigating 'File' / 'Save As', and selecting the 'File Type' list box,
    The default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File is '*.pls'.
    Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?
    I have followed , 'Tools', 'Preferences' , 'File Types' and added '.prc' as 'Sql Script' file type, because (PL/SQL Source) is not present in the list.

    You can certainly overwrite the 'Save As' extension as you are saving the file. I have added an ER for more control over this functionality.
