Exporting in windows media format - only get 30 seconds!

I am trying to export a HDV film into windows media format for my client. They want the film to be 320 x 180, in windows media format and under 10mb, for use on their website.
The film is 3 1/2 minutes long, but when I try and export using quicktime conversion and then select windows media. I have tried fiddling with some of the settings but it keeps just doing 30 seconds of the film. What am I doing wrong? What settings should I be using?
Please help me,
Thank you,
Tom

IMO, Flip4Mac Studio is a much better product than Visual Hub. Both cost money, but better feature set within F4M. As you experienced, you can only get 1/2 the duration of exports, up to a limit of 30 seconds, in trial mode.
If you want the studio version, go to your WMV preferences and click on the upgrade tab.

Any ideas why a film I have converted to mp4 format, that plays with sound through my PC windows media file- only has a picture but no sound when transferred to my ipod touch via the Itunes?

Export to windows media encoder-PPro crashes

Every time I try to export to Adobe Media encoder: windows media: PPro crashes.
I am working on a 64k computer using the 32k version of PPro CS3.
Every other format in the media encoder works fine.
Does anyone have any solutions or know why this happens?
Thanks,
J.

J.Charette, "Export to windows media encoder-PPro crashes" #, 15 Jan 2009 12:24 pm
This thread is getting a bit old now but I'm now having the exact same problem as J.Charette. I think I may have some light to shed on it as well. I was successfully running CS3 master collection and exporting to WMV files in PPro/AE for the past year under XP64. I was given a new computer (again XP64) and didn't have any problems until I installed Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 64 (I used to use the 32 bit version successfully and this time figured I'd just get the 64 bit one instead).
Now that I've installed WME I can't export as WMV from any AE/PPro CS3. As soon as AME comes up with the format selection screen, if I select WMV from the drop down box it immediately crashes. I've tried uninstalling WME, reinstalling it and even uninstalling WME & CS3 and reinstalling from scratch. Still doesn't work.
In my case at least, there is a definite correlation between installing WME64 and its interaction with Adobe Media Encoder... Anyone have any suggestions? It seems to me there must be some registry setting / config file for AME that is causing it to try to use WME64 for something which causes a crash (since 32 and 64 bit apps can't call each other).
Ideas?
Thanks,

How do I "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format in After Effects

I was informed that I needed to use After Effects to "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format.
I have the movie clip in composition, I see the effects and presets drop box on the lower right.
How do I insert the text blocks to mask certain areas of the movie clip?
Thank you,

When i export a video in windows media format is shorter than the original

I tried a lot of time, using Quicktime 7.3.1, to convert a .mov video to a Windows Media .wmv video using the default settings but the result is shorter than original, my original video is 4 minutes, the exported just 30 seconds.
Maybe is my fault, something wrong in my laptop or a Quicktime bug?
I hope someone can help me
Thanks, Marco.

You have the trail of Flip-4-Mac. You need to buy the full version to be able to convert to WVM.

There's no way around this, sorry.

Problems exporting to Windows Media file

Hello,
I don't know why, but when I export movies as WMV files, I am only able to do a few seconds of it (30 seconds to 35 seconds) . Any one know why I am not able to export the entire movie? I did not install it on this computer, but I believe it's using a codec from Flip4Mac.
Thanks in advance

resonally, I don't use either one. For WMV format, I use Microsoft's free Windows Media Encoder on my Windows XP system (no Mac version available).< </div>
Yar, find a cheap used PC; should be about $100.
Having a dedicated PC for this will save you endless headaches. You just cannot imagine how weird it is getting QT to WMV. Popwire and Flip4Mac both have excellent white papers you can download that explain why their solution is better than the other guy's. These can give you some clues about the types of problems you are going to have with bitrates, codecs and gamma/bright changes between platforms.
You also want to explore thoroughly the option of using Flash for crossplatform delivery. It is completely agnostic, universally available, and tolerant of all kinds of weird data issues.

Export a Windows Media File

For some reason, I can only export the first half of my 30 second commercial to a Windows Media file. Odd. I really have no idea why it's doing this. Any suggestions?
AE CS3, working on a MAC
Heck if I'm missing it in the render Q options let me know.

There is technically no need to buy anything than one single Windows licence. No need for AE or other tools. Windows Movie Maker is free, Windows Media Encoder Basic is free and so is VirtualDub and several other tools that can output AVIs in a plethora of CoDecs and WMVs. All you have to do is get an AVI or MOV over to the Windows world... The question however is, how frequently you have to do this and if it is worth spending an afternoon with Bootcamp and a Windows install. You might quite well get happy with Flip4Mac Basic, which is a mere 99 bucks if I recall correctly. Things only get dicy if you need more advanced features of the more expensive Pro version. In addition, there's always the risk of something looking perfect on OSX and the client still ending up with an unusable file if you have no way of checking them on the native OS.

Exporting to Windows Media file

I am using FCE 3.5, I am trying to export my project as a Windows Media file. Problem is, my project is 5 minutes long and it is only exporting the first 29 seconds. When I export as .mov file I get the whole 5 minutes, just can't do it for Windows Media file. Anyone know why this may be? Help please.
I have tried making sure in and out points are at beginning and end of project, I have also selected all clips before choosing to export.

Anyone know why this may be?
Because a trial version of Flip4Mac is powering the conversion. You need to purchase Flip4Mac WMV Studio to create a longer Windows Media file.
If it looks like QuickTime's powering it, it's not.

Exporting to Windows Media Player

Whenever I try to export a movie from Quicktime Pro to Windows Media Player it will only create a 30 second clip. Why won't it export the whole file? Thanks for any info/tips!

You have only the playback version of flip-4-mac, free. To encode you need to buy the component that allows you to export to WMP.

Windows Media Format using Flip4Mac

This problem has just started the last couple of days. I am trying to make windows media files using flip4mac, and keep getting the following error message; "Inconsistent Audio Sample Rate. The media you are exporting contains audio with multiple sample rates". Then when I click the "OK" button on the error message Final Cut crashes and quits.
I've tried different movie clips and get the same error message. I've tried making the movie into a quicktime movie first, so that the video is all one continuous track and the audio is one continuous stereo track. but that makes no difference.
I emailed flip4mac but haven't had a responce from them yet.
Anyone know what the problem is?!?!?!?
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) whatever

It's a problem with the QuickTime 7.2 update. Flip4Mac is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.
http://forum.flip4mac.com/forum/messageview.aspx?catid=10&threadid=263&enterthre ad=y
The only workarounds at this time are to change the audio sample rate of what you're exporting to 44.1KHz, or revert back to QuickTime 7.1.6. The latter generally requires an archive and install of OS X.

Exporting for Windows Media Player?

I work on a Mac and am switching from FCP. In FCP the option was to export as QT or h.264. I'm noticing in CS5.5 on a Mac that there is no .WMV option.
1. Is .WMV not used anymore?
2. What is the best format to export for Windows users?
Thanks.

Hi Jim,
post your exact export options (screen capture of the AME gui video,audio & multiplexer tabs will suffice) - I'll have a look for you.
MP4[h.264 + pcm] or MP4[h.264 + aac] etc should absolutely play on Windows 7 (and Vista?). Now if it's Windows XP then yes I don't think h.264 is supported as a video codec and it also doesn't understand the MP4 container.
!tip! if you bring up WMP->Help->About then click on the bottom "Technical Support Information" you'll get a page showing all the codecs WMP has to work with.
eg here is my virgin work computer (windows 7) that plays mp4[h.264] just fine...

Export for Windows media player

What is the safest codec to export a video to be shown on a PC with Windows Media Player? I have Compressor and Adobe's Media Encoder s well as Mpeg Streamclip on my Mac.
Thanks.

I have AME, but it doesn't list a WMV codec.
Sorry, my mistake .... WMV through AME is Windows only. You will need Flip4Mac to output WMV.

Exporting for Windows Media Player/MPEG (help in translating mixed message)

So a client of mine had an unusual request today. He's been asked by some tech folk who are doing 'commercials' in the theater lobby to provide them with clips with these specifications (and I use that term loosely):
MPEG files that are non-compressed and play in Windows Media Player (no Quicktime allowed) and are Audio Enhanced. Needs to be burned on a CD not a DVD.
Yeah, sounds like folk who have no clue as to what they want and are trying to pretend they do to me too
So...any ideas on what they really want? And is it best to export via Compressor or invest in that Flip4Mac?
I'm probably going to get a phone call from the tech folk on Monday and want to be a bit forearmed w/some idea of what the heck they REALLY mean!

Yup, that's why I'm so perplexed by their specs. Kinda like asking me to make a Photoshop picture that's bright and and can be printed big
Since I don't ever deal w/WMP (shudder) was wondering if their gobbledeegook actually made sense in another realm (glad to hear it doesn't seem to).
