How to covert wmv with Flip4Mac

Can someone help me with it. I want to play mwv files on my i-pod and I know that I need to convert it. I already upgrated flip4mac but I still don't know how to convert the file. I am new to the mac system and it's very confusing.

I though I could ask here since some people in this
forum suggested Flip4Mac.
I think that your post was in an appropriate place and that you are owed an apology.
Having got an upgraded Flip4Mac, you should be able to convert your wmv files to an ipod format by first opening the wmv movie in Quicktime and then opening the File menu, select export and choose ipod as one of your options........However, I think that you must first buy the Quicktime pro key if you don't have it already..........
An alternative would be to use iSquint which is free and does exactly what you want. Also look out for VisualHub from the same people(person) which does cost a little but does lots of other things.
There are other alternatives. I am just relating what works for me

Creating wmv with flip4mac

Hi,
I want to transform material filmed with Sony XDCam EX3 1920 x 1080 25fps 1080i50 35Mb/s VBR into wmv for using it with power point.
With flip4mac and compressor transforming is quite easy, but to get good quality quite complicated, I think.
I get files with quality much inferior than my original. Does anybody has got some ideas or advice?
What do I have to consider most? There is a good tutorial here:
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/encoding_windows_flip4mac_gary.html
But it doesn't explain the bitrate I have to choose, or the size.
Thanks a lot!
Paula

I believe I actually have the correct answer to this. To convert my HD EX1 files to WMV I use Flip4Mac HD. I use the following settings:
Two pass, variable bit rate
Quality 90
Bit rate 1500 kb/sec
size 960x540 (although you can use 640x360) I do this because most of my end users don't have a 1920x1080 screen.
Then "advanced" Interlace upper. Because I shoot interlaced.
I get really, really nice WMV's from this which all of my end users can use in Power Point.
I got these settings from someone else on one of these forums after many hours of trying myself.
I also agree that H.264 files look better but they don't work worth **** on a PC with Power point.
Hope this helps.

Problem Converting Keynote Quicktime to WMV with Flip4Mac

HI All
I can see that perhaps one other person may have had this issue. I have a continuous presentation exported from Ketnote as a Quicktime Movie. This plays from end to end without a hitch.
I am using Flip4Mac to convert to WMV, something I have done on many occasions with other QT files without issue (not from Keynote)
The resulting file only exports to the first transition in the Keynote presentation.
I have made the quicktime continuous (so it does not stop at slide changes) I have tried un-checking the sprite track option.
Pretty much every combination but it still always only exports to the first transition.
Any clues ? What am I missing ?
Thanks for your help

Hi
yes it does however I have been messing around over the weekend and have got some of the way to solving this.
Sorry its a bit long and convoluted but here goes.
I extracted the video and audio tracks as suggested below and made a new flattened movie.
I then found a utility to remove all the chapter markers from Ecamm Network.
This removed every chapter (slide) marker.
I then re-saved and made a WMV from that file. It exported until the last transition and stopped !! ( I checked with the orig file)
So I then converted the end section to WMV and joined the 2 WMV files together in Quicktime Pro.
This then played happily from end to end.
BUT you cant then save that as a WMV ! Quicktime exports it again as a .mov
So I thought that .mov must work if I convert that to wmv but no, stops in the exact same place.
There is no sprite track no chapters but there must be some other metadata that is upsetting Flip4Mac
Anyway closer than I was.
Cant import to FCP or use DV as despite setting the frame rate to 25 in Keynote it actually exports at 22 so any 'video' frame rates make the animation very jerky as you would expect.
thanks for you help though everyone
Neil

.wmv into FCP back to .wmv - best workflow with Flip4Mac?

Apologies if this has been asked before, can't find a specific answer to this.
My client has provided a .wmv (windows media video 9) source file that needs to be edited.
The client needs the final format to also be .wmv with the WMV9 codec.
I've downloaded and shelled out for Flip4Mac Studio, no problem playing the file in QT or FCP. Now, apart from being able to play, import and export to wmv, I assumed I would be able to also create a .wmv sequence in FCP, but not getting any wmv9 codec in my sequence settings.
Am I missing something? Or if it's not possible to create a wmv9 sequence, what's the best workflow?
Source file is 720x540 @ 25fps, bit rate 2303 kbps, audio is 44.1kHz
Thanks.
(PS Belated Happy Thanksgiving to all my pals over there in the US)

Thanks Jerry - believe me I wouldn't be working with this version if I didn't have to. It's for presentation within Windows Media Player ultimately so it will probably be OK if I can maintain most of the original quality.< </div>
Coming into Quicktime is an issue simply because they're different universes, but you know that.
You know what I'd do? I'd find some yutz with a PC and pay him/her to edit it on some Microsoft product. Instant in, instant out.
Short of that, converting the .wmv to something simple that will work in FCP is not going to give you any appreciable compression hit if it started out so small. Compressing again for .wmv v9.0 isn't going to improve anything but it shouldn't diminish either.

How to make WMV files open in in Windows Media Player not Flip4Mac/QT

I just installed Safari 4. With Safari 3 when I clicked on a WMV file on a web site it would automatically open in Windows Media Player. I liked this arrangement just fine. When I installed Safari 4, instead of this happening WMV files started to download instead. I installed Flip4Mac and now they play in QuickTime but I don't like the controls... i.e. I cannot adjust the volume except from the keyboard.
Is there any way to make WMV files open in Windows Media Player the way they used to in Safari 3 instead of either downloading or opening in QuickTime with Flip4Mac?

Not very easy but it could be done.
If the file opens in QuickTime (via Flip4Mac) you can use the Movie Inspector window to "find" the URL. Then open that URL directly in WMP.
You could also dig through the page source code or use the Safari Activity window to find the URL.

If the phone's built-in video player does not handle those formats, your option are:
- find some other video player app that does, or
- convert the videos to a supported format
The E7 supported video formats are listed on, e.g., this page:

How to converting WMV files?

How to converting WMV files from PC to iPod playable files? thanks for all your help

I just found this tip on allexperts.com...
I'm on a windows box at work, so I cant verify the accuracy.
I have one at home...name escapes me right now...icon is a blue square with 5 black dots (like on a die). It converts audio formats, video formats, extracts audio from video, and will batch process.
Maybe someone will recognize the desciption and be able to name it.

heres one on apples site:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/switchfileformatconverterformac.html

Tunes will convert wma to mp3 (or acc) format. Here are the instructions:
To convert a song's file format:
Choose iTunes > Preferences, then click the Advanced button at the top of the window and click Importing.
From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
Select one or more songs in your library, then choose Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3, Convert Selection to AAC, Convert Selection to Apple Lossless, Convert Selection to AIFF, or Convert Selection to WAV. (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences.)
To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key and choose Advanced > "Convert Selection to," then choose the folder or disk containing the songs you want to convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted except songs you purchased from the iTunes Store. (Purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted.)

How to open "wmv"?

Never figured out how to open "wmv" files from PC friends. How do I do that. Thanks. Ol' Jim.

Thanks Neil...New question re Leopard. In old days when machine would slow down, emptying trash cache and setting it with Tech Tool Pro did the trick. Today with inability to set the trash cache, my G5 Power Mac OS 10.4.11, CPU Speed 1.8 GHz and 768 MB Memory with thousands of files/folders and many apps takes 30 seconds to open. No problem. But, my G5 Pro Mac OS 10.5.7, 2 GHz Processor Speed and 1 GB Memory without all the files takes one minute to open. Always use "Secure Empty Trash. Can't figure out why the Pro Mac is slowing down. Any ideas. Thanks. Ol' Jim.

How to covert from .srf form to xml form

hi..... plz anybody help me to find this soloution... i am not familiar with this enviorment
how to covert from .srf form to xml form,
it's very needed
plz help me.................

Hi Raj,
You can do that way, but at times what happens is, if u try changing the extension while saving it saves as "<b>Form.xml.srf</b>" wherein, still its recognized as a srf file. So, you save it as an srf first, and then, change (rename) the extension from .srf to .xml

Error Msg.: "Inconsistent Audio Sample Rate" with Flip4Mac

If you're using Flip4Mac to produce WMV files, the latest QT updates will create a conflict with Flip4Mac, which produces the error msg. referenced in the subj. heading above.
If you're using Flip4Mac, you may want to wait until Telestream resolves the issue before upgrading QT.

The recent release of QuickTime 7.2 created an audio compression error for Flip4Mac WMV Studio, Studio Pro and Studio Pro HD customers. Specifically, when encoding WMV files with Flip4Mac WMV v.2.1.2 using uncompressed audio sources on QuickTime 7.2 systems, customers were receiving "Inconsistent Audio Sample Rate" error and the encode will fail.

Open Hub: How-to doc "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical File"

Hi all,
We are using open hub to download transaction files from infocubes to application server, and would like to have filename which is dynamic based period and year, i.e. period and year of the transaction data to be downloaded.
I understand we could use logical file for this purpose. However we are not sure how to have the period and year to be dynamically derived in filename.
I have read in sdn a number of posted messages on a similar topic and many have suggested a 'How-to' paper titled "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical Filename". However i could not seem to be able to get document from the link given.
Just wonder if anyone has the correct or latest link to the document, or would appreciate if you could share the document with all in sdn if you have a copy.
Many thanks and best regards,
Victoria

Hi,
After creating open hub press F1 in Application server file name text box from the help window there u Click on Maintain 'Client independent file names and file paths' then u will be taken to the Implementation guide screen > click on Cross client maintanance of file name > create a logical file path by clicking on new entiries > after creating logical file path now go to Logical file name definition there give your Logical file , name , physical file (ur file name followed by month or year what ever is applicable (press f1 for more info)) , data format (ASC) , application area (BW) and logical path (choose from F4 selection which u have created first), now goto Assignment of physical path to logical path > give syntax group >physical path is the path u gave at logical file name definition.
however we have created a logical path file name to identify the file by sys date but ur requirement seems to be of dynamic date of tranaction data...may u can achieve this by creating a variable. U can see the help from F1 that would be of much help to u. All the above steps i have explained will help u create a dynamic logical file.
hope this helps u to some extent.

How to join GRPO with AP invoice thru query ?

hi all,
How to join GRPO with AP invoice in sql query ?
Jeyakanthan

Hi Jeyakanthan
Are you using query in SAP Business One or outside the system? If you select the tables in SAP Business One as OPCH and OPDN then no inner join will appear, as the links sit on the line level. You will need PCH1 and PDN1. The link can be found in both directions, but bear in mind that 1 AP Invoice could be based on more than 1 Goods Receipt PO. For this reason the best approach is to start at the AP Invoice line level and use the BaseType and BaseRef fields to view which lines were pulled from which Goods Receipt PO's.
Kind regards

How do I work with FK in a data profile?

Hello People:
I am new in OWB tools and I have many doubts. Therefore, I would like to know if anyone can guide me a bit with the theme of FK and profiles.
How do I work with FK in a data profile?
If I have a table that has a FK to most of the tables, because it is like a parent table. What should I do to have that FK in the profile?
e.g.
- Table 1 FK Table 2
- Table 1 FK Table 3
- Table 1 FK Table 4
- Table 1 FK Table 5
- Table 1 FK Table 6
- Table 2 FK Table 7
- Table 2 FK Table 8
- Table 8 FK Table 9
You should have a data profile with each table or a data profile for all related tables?
If I am all in a single profile, that it would have no problem but I would only slow every time that I have to add a new table, but if I got separated, I can not use the FK? What is the solution that will give this problem?
e.g. PROFILE GENERAL
- Table 1
- Table 2
- Table 3
- Table 4
- Table 5
- Table 6
- Table 7
- Table 8
- Table 9
OR
PROFILE 1 -> - Table 1
PROFILE 2 -> - Table 2
PROFILE 3 -> - Table 3
PROFILE 4 -> - Table 4
PROFILE 5 -> - Table 5
PROFILE 6 -> - Table 6
PROFILE 7 -> - Table 7
PROFILE 8 -> - Table 8
PROFILE 9 -> - Table 9
OR
PROFILE R -> Table 1 / Table 2
PROFILE S -> Table 1 / Table 3
PROFILE T -> Table 1 / Table 4
PROFILE U -> Table 1 / Table 5
PROFILE V -> Table 1 / Table 6
PROFILE W -> Table 2 / Table 7
PROFILE X -> Table 2 / Table 8
PROFILE Z -> Table 8 / Table 9
Thank you very much for your help!
Best regard!
