Creating WMV files

I would like to know the best way to creat WMV files with a Mac. I need to be able to put my video presentations on my HP Ipaq that only excepts WMV files for video.

an easy way that I noticed is that when you "right click" the document go to "get info" and change the name so that it's not a .m4p or the quicktime file and change it to a .wmv

  • PSE 5 and creating  WMV file

    I hope someone can help me as Adobe will not because they do not support version 5.  They suggested I ask the forum.  I am receving the following error message "an error has occured while writing the slide show to to WMV. The WMV file has not been created." I am trying to create a slide show of pictures to burn to DVD.  I have Windows Vista with microsoft IE.

    What types of clips are you using to create the  slide show. If the image size more than 1000 x 750 . Please reduce the files size and  import the  images. Do you installed any other video editing software. Please uninstall that softwares and try to export from PSE 5.

  • PSE 8 - recurring error creating WMV file

    I'm in Windows Vista Business using PSE 8 but with PRE 8 available but not in play here.
    I have successfully created one slideshow and saved it to an 8GB ur drive using high quality output and saving the file as wmv. at 800x600.  It only took up about 350 megs of the drive.
    When trying a second slideshow with fewer slides of about the same size +/-, I continually get the message headlined by Windows Media File Server -- "An error has occurred writing the s/s to WMV. The WMV file has not been created."  I have tried both at 1024x768 and 800x600.  Same message.  I also tried a different  and unused thumb drive.  Same thing.  This all takes place within the Slide Show Editor of PSE 8 with no apparent involvement of PRE 8.
    Help anyone?

I have sucessfully created the slideshow but when I try to create the DVD or VCD I get an error nessage "an error occured while writing slideshow. WMV file has not been created". At that point I can do nothing else. Can anyone help? I also wnat to show the djsk on my DVD player but after reading some forum responses think maybe that will also be a problem..

  • 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.

  • Cannot create .wmv files-Quicktime uninstall

    I am trying to export to a windows media file but keep getting the error message "Inconsistent Audio Sample Rate". I have tried many of the fixes mentioned but cannot get this resolved. I am currently trying to uninstall Quicktime 7.2 without success. I have 7.1.5 ready to install.
    Any suggestions or other thoughts on this issue would be appreciated.

    At the moment, your choices seem to be:
    Do an "archive and install" which will let you update back to QT 7.1.6, but this messes up your FC Studio install and you'd have to reinstall it.
    Watch the FlipForMac forum for news of a fix.
    http://forum.flip4mac.com/forum/messageview.aspx?catid=10&threadid=263&enterthre ad=y
    Use this technique to reinstall QT.7.1.6
    http://forum.troikatronix.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=714;guest=354632&t=s earch_engine
    You say you have 7.1.5 ready to install.
    You need 7.1.6 if you have FC Studio 2
    You can still get 7.1.6 here:

  • How can I create MWV file from iMovie that is compatible with Windows

    Hi Folks:
    I have have an iMovie project that I need to share as a WMV file that I can upload to a website that is then able to be opened in a Windows browser.
    I've already created a QuickTime version that seems to work in Mac and Windows browsers. Just need a way to create a WMV file that works.
    I have purchased software (Flip4Mac WMV) that lets me make a WMV file but the files that I make with that software open up in Mac browsers (Firefox and Safari) but will not open in either Firefox or IE for Windows. The windows browsers both report that the page is not available. One of the options is to refresh the page. I do this on Win 2K IE6 and the movie is played in Media Player in a pane at the left side of the browser. On Windows XP IE 7 the page just does not produce anything that is useful.
    Anyone able to tell me what I should do to make the WMV files OK for Windows or some software that actually creates WMV files that work on Windows? Or is this a Web Page Formatting problem?
    Is it something I am doing on the site? I am using the "embedding" technique recommended by Apple to use a JS function to embed the file in a web page as shown below: (slightly modified)
    function InsertMovie(movie)
    document.write('<object CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="320" height="256" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">\n');
    document.write('<param name="src" value="movies/' + movie +'" />\n');
    document.write('<param name="controller" value="true" />\n');
    document.write('<param name="autoplay" value="false" />\n');
    document.write('<embed src="movies/'+movie +'" width="320" height="256" autoplay="false" loop="false" controller="true" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/"></embed>\n');
    document.write('</object>\n');
    This works in that the movie is presented to the Windows browsers are presented with the movie but they don't want to display it. I have two versions of the Movie and the one that's an H264 encoded QT movie loads fine in both IE and Firefox on Windows with QT installed. It is the WMV file that is not being handled as I would like.
    Any help would be appreciated a great deal. In fact, I will give a registration code for RollingCredits to anyone able to solve this problem for me.
    I know, resorting to bribery could be considered bad form but I am in need of a solution. And I know there are a lot of smart people out there.
    Cheers
    David

    Are you saying that my problem is that I am not using
    the correct software to create the WMV file or that
    VisualHub is a less expensive alternative.
    My problem seems to be that the file that I create is
    not being recognized by the browser -- not that it is
    not a WMV file.
    As I'm sure you know, WMV, like QuickTime mov files, come in many flavors. VisualHub may give a slightly different 'flavor'.
    After I made my original post, it occurred to me that Flash video is probably a more universal solution to your problem. Had you considered Flash video?
    But your suggestion(s) to try VisualHub have not gone unheeded.
    It's the least expensive way I've found so far to create Flash video files.

  • Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?

    I went through the forums and made sure that any blocks or copywrites weren't triggered by the file, it's clean and can be opened using a media player and other video editing software like windows MovieMaker. I keep getting "The importer reported a generic error" message and have no idea how to proceed. Can someone please help?

    Re: Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv  file?
    This ARTICLE starts with a checklist on setting up a computer to run PrE best, then goes into a series of links for tuning up one's computer and OS, and then links on troubleshooting.
    There is also a link on posting all necessary info, to help others help you.
    Without knowing much more about your system, it is impossible to say much beyond that WMV's are tough assests to work with, requiring a lot of CPU horsepower.
    Good luck,

  • Proxies not created for WMV files

    One of my FCSrv installs is having difficulty with .wmv files. The system has Flip4Mac Pro installed, and if you open the files directly, or even use the "view" popup in the FCS client on that system, the clips play fine. Also, in column view I see the previews. However, server doesn't create poser frames or thumbnails on scan, and the clip proxy transcode jobs stall (progress bar in Search all Jobs doesn't move) I was under the impression that if Quicktime on the server could play it, Final Cut Server could transcode it.

    WMV is not native to APPLE thus is is trying to upscale to a MOV.

  • Creating (sharing) a video with a sound-track as .wmv file,  no sound track. Any ideas?

    I'm a new user, and I have imported a video file (created by PowerPoint, and a sound-track (created by Cubase software from Steinberg.
    When I view the video within Premiere Elements it's all there - video and audio both. However, when I try to create an external .wmv file (Publish+Share), I don't get any audio.
    Set up is Windows PC running Windows XP SP3, with 4 GB of RAM, and 500 GByte hard drive. Premiere Elements version is 11.0
    What I'm doing:
    I imported the input video file and dropped it on the main Video1 timeline. Then I dropped the finished sound-track on Audio 1. When I click Play, I hear the sound-track and see the video. To Publish+Share, I select Computer from the drop-down menu. Then, in the location and settings list I select Windows Media.I choose 720*480 pixels, 4:3 aspect ration and 29.97 frames per second. In the Advanced.. panel, I make certain that Export Video and Export Audio are both checked. Ther dialog box reports that it will create a 174 MByte file, with 440 kbps/ 96 kHz audio in a 2-channel configuration.
    So I click Save, and the program hems and haws for about 34 minutes, and says it's done. All I get is the video - in a 16.414 MByte file (the original input file, also .wmv was only 9.1 MBytes), so something must have happened. However, all I get is video, and no sound-track.
    I'm totally convinced that the problem lies between my ears, but I'd like to hear someone provide some guidance. I've missed the deadline for an important project, and I don't want to slip any further :-(

    Let us back track through the details.
    Premiere Elements 11 on Windows XP 32 bit.
    What are the video compression and file extension of the file created in PowerPoint? What version PowerPoint? What is the frame size and frame rate?
    What are the audio compression and file extension (mp3 or .wav) of the audio created with this Cubase software? Are you dealing with mono, stereo, or 5.1 channel?
    From your description, it sounds like you are letting version 11 set the project preset for you. What is it setting? We can find that out from the reading under Edit Menu/Project Settings/General - Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio, even if the fields appear to be grayed out.
    If you import your .wmv export back into the Premiere Elements project, do you see content in both the video and audio tracks? If so, do both play back when you press the play button of the Edit area monitor?
    Have you checked Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and ASIO and have you checked out your audio in the Edit area with the Audio Meter opened to verify sound level? See Window Menu/Audio Meters.
    Is the problem confined to this PowerPoint video and Cubase audio? What happens if you try this with a video from your camera and soundtrack from one of the SmartSound soundtracks?
    Please review the above and then let us know the answers to the questions.
    Thank you.

  • How to create clips in old WMV files

    Hi
    I have lots of old wmv files created with movie maker 5 years ago.  Can i import/add them into premiere elements and then somehow automatically split them into clips based on scene change or time/date chage etc.?  If so how do i do this, i'm struggling to find help documents about this and i dont have time to manually go through every single file  and split them.  
    Also is there a way i can easily improve the quality of these files, they seem very pixelated when i play them in Pr elements.
    thanks for any help you can provide.

    >improve the quality of these files
    Not really... WMV is a highly compressed file, and once a file has been compressed, there is no way to bring back that lost information
    As for the rest... some reading (and, you did not state your PreElements version, so info for all recent versions)

  • Newby problem - creating dvd from .wmv file

    First - thank everyone/anyone in advance for helping me. Second - is there a basic video how-to somewhere to help me learn Premiere Elements? I am finding this program very hard to figure out on my own.
    Here's the current problem - I created a slideshow with an audio track (a little music video) in Photoshop Elements 7, a .wmv file that I successfully uploaded to YouTube.  The file is 50k KB, under 5 minutes.
    Copied the wmv file to a DVD.  When my Sony HDMI CD/DVD player said it couldn't play the disc, decided to try something else.
    Imported the wmv file into Premiere Elements 7. Gave up trying to figure out how to create a title card, menu, etc, and since the video is just how I want it anyway, saved the file and tried burning it to disc.
    Put in a Verbatim Lightscribe DVD+R disc, 4.7 GB, and prepared to burn from PE7.  The program said that the disc status was not blank - which it is, so I burnt to a folder on my hard drive instead - 4.7GB, according to the choice I made from the program.  From the folder, I burned the Video_ts file to the disc.  It still doesn't play in my DVD player.
    I have reformatted the DVD to start fresh and make sure it is blank, but PE7 continues to read it as not blank.  Tried putting in a fresh disc newly opened, but the computer seems to format it automatically and still claims it is not blank.  Regardless, it is blank.
    What am I doing wrong and how can I properly burn this little video to a DVD?  Just trying to show my grandmother the video.
    Am working on HP HDX Premium laptop with Vista.
    Thanks for any advice.  I'm in and out so may not respond promptly.

    There is so much to be looked at in Photoshop Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 7, used as standalone or intergrated.
    I like to look at the Help PDF under the Help Menu of each and follow through from "Getting Started" and onward.
    When you create a slideshow in Photoshop Elements 7, the preferred route to the DVD-VIDEO generated by Premiere Elements 7 is via Photoshop Elements 7 Slideshow Editor Output Option "Send To Premiere Elements". Once the slideshow (in a video form) arrives on the Premiere Elements Timeline, you then have an opportunity for further edits (if you want to) using the "Break Apart Adobe Photoshop Elements Slideshow" Command (right click video on Timeline and select that command).
    In Premiere Elements 7, you can burn your slideshow to disc (DVD-VIDEO Format on DVD disc). It is important to remember that the player has to support the disc type as well as the format on that disc. Try using a different brand type and/or disc type like DVD-R and see how you do. If you burn to folder, you burn just the VIDEO_TS (all files) housed in the saved folder, using a Burn Video Images category in the 3rd party burn software such as Nero, Record Now. Do not use Make Data Disc, a common mistake. The "playable disc" category mentioned in an earlier thread is sort of a functional name rather than the category name you will find in most of these 3rd party burn softwares. If you need a step by step for Nero or Record Now, I will supply that on request.
    But, you have a .wmv version of your slideshow that you want to get into DVD-VIDEO format on a DVD disc for playback on the TV.
    This is my suggestion:
    In Premiere Elements 7, after import to Timeline, Create Menus...
    Share/Disc/Disc
    Preset: NTSC Standard or Widescreen or PAL equivalent, depending on your location
    check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space"
    Disc Type: DVD-R (never used before disc, out of the box)
    OR
    In a software such as Nero, Record Now
    Use Burn Video Files to DVD category to burn the VIDEO_TS folder to a DVD-R disc
    OR
    Use ImgBurn software (free download software which I find extremely "strange", but it works http://www.imgburn.com/)
    Follow instructions for burning the VIDEO_TS to a DVD-R disc

  • Can't Burn WMV file created by Premier Elements 8

    I organized a slideshow in Photoshop Elements 8 which then opened Adobe Premier 8. Adobe Premier 8 created a .WMV file of slide show. I have tried to burn the .WMV file using Ashampoo Burning 8. Ashampoo runs but in the end annouces DVD burn has failed. I can burn a CD so I dont think its Plextor drive. Ashampoo tech seems to be of no help. Am wondering if anyone else has trouble burning WMV files of slideshows?

    Thanks again.
    I did as you suggested and I'm basically back to where I started.
    I outputted a Pr8 slideshow to PrE.  I then burned the slideshow onto a DVD using the "share" function at PrE. 
    It is incredibly slow -- takes about 3 hours -- but it did burn the DVD.  I did this before on earlier versions of Elements (Pr6, I think), and now I remember why I stopped doing it. 
    The resulting DVD is not acceptable.  Two main problems. 
    First, instead of smooth, continuous panning and zooming, every single slide, after the fade transition, is still, and then it jerks into panning and zooming. 
    Second, the overall quality is not so great.  Lots of shimmer/jiggle during the panning and zooming, and a lot of general mushiness.  Text I've inserted onto slides often has really mushy edges.  I've completely given up trying to use a shadow color behind text because even though it looks good in the preview when I'm making the slideshow, on screen using the DVD, it just compounds the problem of the mushiness.
    We have a brand new, high-end HP computer with Windows 7 with all programs and drivers fully updated, so I don't think there is a problem outside Adobe.
    Because PrE generated DVDs that weren't so good (sorry) , I started saving the Pr8 slideshows as .wmv files and then trying to use Roxio to burn the .wmv file onto a DVD using its encoding.  Roxio generated one DVD that way that worked very well:  much sharper quality photos and text and smooth, continuous panning and zooming, but then Roxio started generating error messages at the end of the DVD-creation process and Roxio tech support tells me it is an unsolvable problem, so they're refunding my money. 
    I prefer Adobe anyway and only tried Roxio because of the problems with Adobe DVDs mentioned above.
    So, is there any other way I can go about this within Adobe that will help solve the pan-zoom and mushiness problems?
    I really appreciate your help.  It takes me many hours to create these slideshows of family vacations and it's very frustrating to then end up not being able to generate the end product - a quality DVD - at the end.

  • Using QT to create a wmv file - can I include a live link?

    I'm using QT to create a wmv file. I'd like to be able to include a live link in the movie. Is this possible?

    Try posting in the QuickTime for Mac forum. You'll be more likely to get help there than you will here in the QuickTime for Windows forum. You might also try asking in the Flip4Mac forums (I presume you're using the Flip4Mac codecs to do the WMV export).
    Regards.
