Exporting video for the web for windows Media player
What software can i use to compress an AVI file for the web. The finished product will be WMA file.
WMA is Windows Media Audio. I think what you meant is WMV (Windows Media Video). To export to that format on a Mac you'll need Flip4ac, available from www.flip4mac.com Once you've installed it, it adds the WMV and WMA export option to QT and other apps such as Sorenson Squeeze.

What is the best setting for compressing to a Window Media Player?
I now have the latest Compressor, just now need to figure out which is the best setting to use for compressing to a Windows Media Player. Does anyone know which is the best method?
I'd propose you buy a licence for Telestreams FLip4MAC (flipfactory) Quicktime components to enable ENCODING for HD and SD as you need. It works ok however none of my work requires specifics for windows player. I have a licence just the same.
If you have Flip4mac already installed, you can use the system preferneces panel to order a an ENCODER component licence. There may be others around as well.
You can just use compressor.app and change the inspector video to use "quicktime components/windows media encoder" in the batch job.. its pretty easy.

With every upgrade, be it 3 or 4 and even the coming 5, many videos will hang that requires the Windows Media Player Firefox Plug-in or the LATEST Adobe Flash Player. Most plug-ins are compatible BUT not these two. Otherwise things will go smoothly.
Thank you.1. Plugins aren't Mozilla's responsibility. Microsoft is responsible for the WMP plugin, which doesn't look like it is even installed in the Firefox you posted here with. You don't have the latest version of Adobe Flash AFAIK, but that is Adobe's responsibility, not Mozilla's.
2. As far as Firefox version numbering, Firefox 4.o0 hasn't even been released yet and not even a tentative release date has been mentioned for Firefox 5.0.
Quite honestly, WMP isn't usually that big of a problem, but Flash is very problematic - enough that Steve Jobs has it banned from iOS which runs the iPhone, iPad, and deluxe iPod (whatever it's called). HTML5 is probably going to eliminate the need for the Flash Player in a few years; good riddance to bad rubbish, IMO. -
Software for converting quicktime to windows media player
I am having difficult converting a movie from Quicktime or even IMovie to a program that can be run on a Windows PC.
To convert to Windows Media Player (with .wmv extension), you will need one of the Paid versions of Flip4Mac.
Flip4Mac gives you the components you need. Use something like MPEG Streamclip to do the actual conversion.
If you just want to play it on a Windows PC, but don't care about Windows Media format, there are two ways to go.
1) Just use SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE in the size you want. On the PC, you need to install QuickTime Player for Windows.
2) You can also use SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose Movie to MPEG4. Choose h.264 as the codec. With this option, it should play on Windows without the need for QuickTime Player to be installed.
I may receive some compensation from my link. -
Ok, so I made a video with Bandicam, and every time I click on it to play it (it is saved as an MP4), it just says: Windows Media Player has stopped working. Then it gives me two choices: Close the program OR look online for a solution. I REALLY want to
post these videos, but I can't. If anyone could help that would be great!Hi juderocks14,
Please first take a check with the other Players and see if they could play the MP4 file normally. If it can't be played, which means it might be corrupted. You may ask at the Bandicam side, or save the files again.
If issue insists, take a try with the Troubleshooter (For Windows 7, 8 and 8.1):
Open the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter
Fix Windows Media Player video, and other media or library issues
Or you may try to turn Windows Features on or off to reset Windows Media Player:
Turn Windows features on or off (Before turn it on again, please remember to reboot first)
More reference:
What happens if I turn off Windows Media Player?
Best regards

Windows Media player will not launch from a video link within a website. it worked until I installed FF4. I did install the plug in but still nothing it just goes to a black then blank page when you try to launch the video.
Ideas?At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply. For 10.5/10.6 Network, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
10.5.x/10.6.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list. -
Saving my video to view it in Windows Media player
I have the dutch version of Premiere 12.
I want to view my Video on Windows Media Player, my computer has Windows 8.1 as OS.
Up to now I used MPEG format, to be used to play on this computer.
When I do the conversion I only get the message that this video format cannot be used by Windows Media Player.
So my question is: how the h... can I make video's with Premiere that can be viewed using Windows Media Player.
The so called help information does not provide any information on which "voorinstelling" to use.LexRas-Adobe
A just in case note....I am not sure if you are unclear on the path to the Premiere Elements 12 Windows Media export (Publish+Share/Computer/Windows Media).
Many miss seeing the choice because it is at the lower end of the list of choices and the user needs to scroll down the list to see it and select it.
The lineup of choices under Publish+Share/Computer consists of
Adobe Flash Video
MPEG
AVCHD
XAVC-S
AVI
Windows Media
QuickTime
Image
Audio
Please consider.
Thank you.

Video on the web for podcasting or streaming
do any on know what I can do to get the right combo. in Compressor to get my video file size down but still look as good as apples
macTV Show #70 - Front Row Demo podcast in itunes. I also have quick time pro. I see H.264 in the movie info twice when I view it in quick time
thanksHi Jason,
Since you mentioned you have QTP (version 7.0.3?), in version 7 you can export for iPod (320x240). Launch the file in quicktime, command-E (export), and select "movie to iPod (320x240). It isn't the fastest encoding method, but it produces very good quality.
Other options?...
Much success has been had by others using:
Handbrake: http://www.newtenlightment.de/iPodHandbrake.dmg
(free)
Also see "Podner", which is new, inexpensive (but not free), but others are claiming good results.
Here is a very, very helpful thread here:

Best of success to ya...

hello,
i have created a multicam sequence successfully and want to send my client a video showing them all 7 angles playing back in sync. basically i want to send them exactly what i see on the left half of the screen when i enable multicam view in the program window. is there a way to do this without having to go back to my original sequence and use the position and scale settings to show all 7 camera angles at once?
i know using the position and scale is not difficult just hoping there is a faster way since the application is already doing exactly what i need when it generates the multicam view in the program monitor.
thanks in advance

working in Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2Hi all
I'm just speculating here, but I am aware that not all .AVI
files are created equally. As I understand it, there are a plethora
of different CODECs (COmpressor/DECompressor) types used to create
them. So I would think it would be entirely possible that the .AVI
in question wasn't created using a CODEC that Captivate is
understanding.
I'm wondering if you were to try converting the .AVI to a
.SWF using a different utility if you might see better results.

Scrubbing the timeline in Windows Media Player
I created a encore project a few months ago and when played in WMP you couldn't scrub the timeline or fast forward/rewind. I check the user settings and activated 'All' which seemed to cure the problem. However I've just created another disc in the series using the same settings and once again I can't scrub the timeline. Moreover playing the first project disc again now that too won't scrub.
If you pick up the play head button and move it down or back along the timeline it just flicks back to the current time.You may search http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US for help with Microsoft products
You may also switch to VLC which is better http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html -
Streaming Video for Windows Media Player?

You are going to need to have two versions of the video file. One for Mac Quicktime users and one for WIndows Media Player users.
WMV Studio Pro looks like it could meet your needs.

However you will need a Windows Media Server to stream the WMV file otherwise it will act as a download only.

My iphone 3gs is not recognised in either windows 7 or in the latest itunes. It was briefly but then Windows asked me if I wanted to open the camera with Windows media player and I clicked ok. I also tried to download the new software for the phone. Now nothing works. I also downloaded a programme which you supposedly need for iphone with windows 7
Any help pleaseThe ONLY program you need for an iPhone on Windows 7 is iTunes. Remove whatever the other program is, then remove and re-install iTunes as diesel vdub recommends.

Best settings to export for the web?
Hey everyone,
What do you think is the best setting to export video to web? I export now using quicktime and once in a while (I would like to use it more often since its much easier) compressor. So what is the best settings to export video to the web without having it get all blurry? I also use an XL2 so the video is good.JB
but I'm concerned about whether H264 is accessible by an audience outside the Mac umbrella.
They need QT7 installed.
You can get Flip4Mac and add WMV export capabilities to QT. I'm sure that with a little of experimentation you'll get good results and the needed component isn't expensive.
Hope that helps !

Encoding iMovie files for Windows Media Player
iMovie 11 / 9.0
Mac OS 10.6.8
I edit audio/video in iMovie (currently the only program I have) and need to output for streaming on the internet. Most of our subscribers are using older versions of Windows Media Player and as I understand won't be able to play MP4. I couldn't play the MP4 using Windows Media Player 9.0, "invalid format" error.
What software could I use to convert MP4 to a format for streaming on the internet that our subscribers play using WMP? Should I save the file out of iMovie in a different format to convert?
I have Adobe Media Encoder 4.2.0.006 but my options are h.264 or flash, got error messages when I tried to "Edit Export Settings".
ThanksThe easiest way is to upload video to YouTube and embed videos on your site from there. This way you don't have to worry about which version of Windows, which version of Internet Exlorere, etc.
Another way, ask your users to install QuickTime For Windows. Then export normally,
Another way, get one of the paid versions of Flip4Mac, and you can convert files to wmv using QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip or Compressor.
