How can I convert from .wmv format to one that AppleTV will play?

I am a Windows user and I want to convert .wmv files to a format that will play on my AppleTV and 5th generation iPod. I don't think that QuickTime Pro will do this.
What are the best solutions to convert video from various formats to the format that is needed for my AppleTV and iPod?
Thanks,
Rob

never assume. handbrake is available for windows just like itunes, so you could easily use ATV without ever having a mac.

How can I convert a wmv video to a format that will import into itunes?

I need to view a video on my new ipad. The file is wmv format and needs to be converted to a compatible format.

No need to convert unless you want to play it in iTunes. Play back with VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything. If you absolutely must convert (and lose quality) use Handbrake.

How can I convert from color balance in FCE to color balance in FCPX?

Let me start off by saying that I've been having an issue with a project in Final Cut Express - a project I'd put a lot of time into and thought I was finished with. Before continuing on, I encourage you to take a look at my other thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18702933?ac_cid=op123456#18702933
Realizing that there may be no one who can walk me through fixing my project as is, I decided to download a trial version of Final Cut Pro X and see if I could replicate my project there and have more success (after all, it was only a matter of time before I switched anyway).
So, in my original project in FCE, I keyed a lot of frames with different color balances. I downloaded the Ripple Training color balance effect to do just that, but the sliders are set up differently. In FCE, they range from -1 to 1. In FCPX, they range from 0 to 1. I'm wondering how I can conveniently convert the values from FCE to FCPX. Being terrible at math has made this much harder.
Just by drawing a diagram, like the following, I can figure out the basics:
FCE
[-1]-----[-.5]-----[0]-----[.5]-----[1]
is equal to:
FCPX
[0]-----[.25]-----[.5]-----[.75]-----[1]
Since I have very specific numbers, not all of which can be easily converted using a basic diagram like the one above, I definitely need some help here. For example, one of the values in FCE is .77. What would that be equal to in FCPX? It's probably something simple, but like I said, I'm stupid when it comes to math.
Thanks to anyone who can provide me with some help here, although I still hope that I'll end up having no reason to redo everything in FCPX.

Well, the "math answer" is .885…but I'm afraid that's not likely to be of much help. FCPX and FCE have absolutely nothing in common, including filters land color correction. So even if you sent the time comverting all your numeric values, I'm guessing you'll wind up with a mess and be very frustrated with all the time wasted in the workaround.
If I read your original FCE thread correctly, I if it were my project., I'd do a test on a short clip in X to see whether yoi can the effects and quality you expect. If you can, great. Build you project from scratch and learn a new NLE at the same time.
Good luck.

How can I convert from Modbus raw data to engineering units using a formula?

Within Lookout, I have several Modbus numerical input types that do not have a linear corespondence to the Engineering values they represent. How can I display these values accurately using a formula to convert from the raw data to an engineering value?

I don't quite understand your reply. I'm using Lookout 6.0.2, logged in as Administrator, in Edit Mode. The Modbus object is named RTU06_SAV. The Active member is 30002 with an alias of SAVfmSMT_RSL.
Following your instructions, I opened Object Explorer and right-clicked on RTU06_SAV.
This opened a menu containing: Refresh, Cut, Copy, Rename, Delete, Edit connections..., Edit Data Member Configuration, Configure Network Security and Properties.
I assumed that I should select Edit Data Member Configuration, but maybe I'm wrong.
Within Data Member Configuration I can set up Linear Scaling between Raw data and Engineering data. I know how to do that, but what I need to know is how to convert Raw data to Engineering data using a formula representing a non-linear transformation (such as a converion to a logarithmic value or perhaps a formula derived by fitting the formula to a curve on a calibration chart).
Once I have this my Engineering data can be represented on a control panel as both a numeric value AND as a correctly reading Gauge. It can also be properly represented on a HyperTrend graph.
What do you suggest?

How can i convert a .wmv to .mov or .mpg?

I don't need to convert the file so I can view it.
I'm hosting this video on a website and I want to enable users the option to download the file in either .mov/.mpg4 format or .wmv format.
Does anybody know if there is a free converter out there?
Also, I have VLC for my .wmv's but it stopped working recently. Now when I try to play a .wmv in VLC the video doesn't work, but the sound does, and I get this error message:
"main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `WMV3'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format."
Thanks,
Jacob

I find the free iSquint to be the easiest GUI for these projects...some people dump on it since the interface is so simple, but just use the Advanced Mode if you want to tinker.

Alternatively, if you have QTPro, you can download and install the Flip4Mac beta for intel components (posted in this forum) - that way, QT will play the WMV file natively and you can simply "save it" as a .mov. I've pretty much left VLC in the dust for even attempting to play WMV files after installing the F4M beta. It is, of course, still invaluable for a zillion other reasons.

How can I convert a WMV to an MOV?

I've been trying to convert a WMV to an MOV. However, I've been getting the error "The source compression type is not supported." I've used AME to convert this file type before. Not sure how I should proceed. Any ideas?

I use this for problem clips.

How can I get back my Word docs now that Pages will not open them?

How can I retrieve my Word docs now that Pages will not open them in Mavericks. I have a brand new iMac with my evolving manuscript for a book transsferred from my now defunct MacBook Pro by external drive. Pages tells me that "PowerPC apps are "no longer supported" and Mavericks will not open Microsoft Office, though it is still in Applications. Would really appreciate ANY help!

You will have to have an app that will open them first, you can upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 which is an Intel based app then open the docs and retry. Your docs were created with extremely old version of Office for Mac, version 2004!
Another possiblity is using a web based compatible MS Office for Mac app and see if it will open your doc and then save it, then attempt to re-open in Pages.

How can i convert from alac to mp3 and export to artist/album hierarchy

I am trying to populate a 32GB SD Card with music to listen to in my car. My itunes library is largely in apple lossless format, but the car stereo does not play that format.
I have created a playlist of all of the music I'd like to have on the SD Card (but its in apple lossless format).
So what I'd like to do is:
a)     Bulk convert a large number of apple lossless files to MP3.
b)     Export the MP3 files to an external Finder folder, organized in Artist/Album hierarchy
c)     Delete the MP3 files from the itunes library so as to have just the apple lossless version maintain in the itunes library
Sounds pretty simple, but I'm having a devil of a time trying to figure it out.
I can find a way to do the conversion and export the MP3 files (and subsequently deleted from the itunes library), but they will not be organized by Artist/Album in the Finder folder.
Similarly, I can export a bunch of files from itunes to a Finder folder and have it be organized by Artist/Album.
I just can't do one followed by the other.
I suppose this would also work if instead of exporting the newly created MP3 files, it would establish a new playlist in itunes with these. Then, I could just export them and have them then organized by Artist/Album; and then I could delete all of the MP3 files in the playlist.
Any thoughts or ideas on how to accomplish this goal? (I do know the manual way of doing this, but am trying to figure out a faster, more elegant way).

I ask because you wrote, "I just can't do one followed by the other".
You can. Just do one followed by the other.
Convert the files to mp3.
Put them all into a playlist. A smart playlist with Kind is MP3 and added in last one day will do it for you.
Select the songs in teh smart playlist
Run Export to Album Folders script.
Select all the songs in the playlist then Command Delete to remove them from iTunes.

How can I create a Cell Format in Numbers that doesn't display zeroes?

I can't figure this out. I need to view numbers in a column decimal aligned. If the number has trailing digits then all trailing zeros need to be removed up to the number of decimals to display. All remaining trailing zeros need to be hidden (not replaced with a space as a space isn't the same with as a digit). Below is a simple example I hacked in Photoshop. The first column shows the real entered value and the right it's displayed value. Note that the cell in red is showing that the trailing zero has been replaced with nothing but the decimal point is still aligned.

Hi Mike,
No sign of your photoshopped image, so I'm guessing about what you want here.
Does this resemble what you're looking for?
Column B contains the initial entries (made from the keyboard). I wasn't expecting to see the trailing zeroes retained in these.
All cells in columns C and D contain the formula shown above the table, =B, a simple cell reference to the column B cell on the same row as the formula.
Column C's format is left as the default "Automatic". As can be seen, all trailing zeroes are removed.
Cells in column D have had their format set as shown in the Inspector pane to the right of the table.
The value in these cells is still the same as the value in column B, and that is the value that would be used in any calculations referencing these cells. Formatting affects only the display of the cell contents. What is displayed is the value in the cell, rounded to two decimal places.
Regards,
Barry

How can I print a free format style report that is 3 pages long

You may say this would be like a letter format (no columns), but is actually a formatted document. It is on 3 pages. I was instructed by a Oracle reports teacher to place on multiple frames with page protect to fix my problem of text for one line of text to appear on two pages. I tried this, but it did not work.
I've had to specify 3 panels to accommodate for the 3 pages of text. I've made the frames vertically expandable for varied body of text.
Thanks ahead of time,
Jeannie

hi ,
see if this can solve your problem
in reports 6, in the object navigator...u have three sections within the Layout Model...viz ... Header Section, Main Section and the Trailer Section. u just need to go to the properties of the Main Section and set the Verticals panels per page property to the desired number of pages across which u wanna span ur record. and put in the corresponding frames and fields within them
