Importing a Windows Media FIle into iDVD...

is it possible?

Yeah, Flip4Mac is the software you'll need. It's worth the few bucks for the import/export components.

  • Importing Windows Media file into FCP

    I have a Windows Media file, that I want to put into FCP for later export to DVD.
    QuickTime cannot open the file, nor can Cleaner. Windows Media Player for Mac plays the file fine, but there are no export options.
    Any ideas? Help greatly appreciated.

    Did some Googling and just a minute ago I downloaded the software.
    Looks like it's working. Exporting the file to QuickTime DV now.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Importing WMV (Windows Media) Files

    I've created several .wmv files in Quicktime (Flip4Mac) and
    want web site visitors to be able to view them as a Windows Media
    file. Though they are saved as .wmv files they still show the
    Quicktime icon. Within Dreamweaver the only way I can see to import
    them is the Insert > Quicktime Movie. Is there another way to do
    this so that people don't have to have Quicktime to view the videos
    and they can see them in a Window Media Player? It seems that a lot
    of people don't have Quicktime and don't want to download the
    plugin.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here's my entire senario. I just got the 30gb video ipod. I want to add a movie that's saved as an avi file with windows over to itunes so I can get it to the ipod. I also can't get the sample movie into my itunes library. I've tried to add file to library; import file; and just plain drag it but none of that has worked. So I guess first question is if will i beable to butn a video file to cd if I only have a cdrw not a dvd burner. Second I see a lot of threads about people with problems using new itunes 7.0, which is the one I have also, and could the new itunes be the problem since I can't play sample movie?
    Sorry it's so long but thought it best to lay everything out for you.

  • HT1473 External Hard Drive (windows media files)

    Just bought a MAC and I want to "import" my Window Media Files from an external hard drive (western digital) into my iTunes.  I own and copied all of my
    CDs onto this external drive and it works just fine with my Windows PC.  When I connect the external drive to the iMac everything appears as it should.  When I try to "import library" from itunes it doesn't do anything.  No attempt to convert to the Apple format at all.  I can play the music using "Flip4Mac" but this doesn't help in trying to add it to my iTunes.  Any help would be grateful.

    iTunes for Mac doesn't play Windows Media Audio Files. Neither does iTunes for Windows, but it does include a feature that will convert WMA according to your current import settings. Convert your files on your old Windows box before moving them to the Mac.

  • Problem with import files from windows media player into iTunes

    When I have tried to import my .wav lossless files created under windows media player into iTunes I use File, add folder to library but when the action is completed I get all of the files under the heading 'unknown album' with 'unknown artist'.
    Does anyone know that I need to do in order to include the artist and album ?
    Many thanks,
    John.

    You'll first need to add the MP3s to your iTunes library since the iPod is not compatible with Windows Media Player. You can use, for example, the File > Add to Library menu to do this.

  • Can I import wmv files into iDVD?

    I have a client who just handed me some windows media files. Can I import those into iDVD without converting them?
    Cheers.

    Hi
    It needs to be converted.
    .wmv
    iMovie is by concept meant to work with miniDV camcorders . . any other 'imports' need a conversion or are not supported... a quick solution would be purchasing a plug-in from www.flip4mac.com, 49$, which allows the conversion of .wmv (a PC format) into something useful for iM (dv-stream) ...
    or, ask the emailer to send it in some other codec .. mpg4 for example .. which will be converted by iM 'out-of-the-box' ...  and, to work with iM, the video should fulfill a few standards .. 720x480 pixel resolution, 30 frames per second ... otherwise, you will experience a dramatic loss of quality ..

  • Noob question on windows media files not importing

    I gather I can't get these files into iMovie without converting them? Is there any freeware app to do this? I tried opening them with QT and got the message "The movie could not be opened. It is not a movie file."
    They have the extension .ASF; "get info" tells me they are windows media files; they came from a POS Aiptek DV4500 (no, I don't do video much; this is a kid event at school that I'd like to see)
    Sorry; I'm sure the answer is in the forum somewhere but I couldn't find it several pages into my search.

    thanks -- flip4mac isn't free, though, at least for converting windows files, from what I can tell from the site. and the VLC software appears to just be a viewer; no importing.
    so again, is there any freeware? or am i forced to pay $$ to see these files?
    if that's the case, i'll just go back to my cruddy ol' XP laptop, because, again, i stress, i'm not gonna be doing this but maybe once a year....

  • How do I export into a windows media file ?

    I've been working on a project that requires both a quicktime and a windows media ( and /or real player) file to be made, so as to post on a website. I've got the quicktime file made, but what do I choose for a windows media file? - what options should I choose in export to make this happen?
    I'm on FCP 5.1
    and am using quicktime 7
    thanks!

    You need Flip4mac (the studio version ~$49US) to export windows media.
    It does a great job.
    good luck.

  • Playlists from windows media player into itunes.

    I used import playlist and it doesnt work. Like my computer doesnt even register that i clicked that. Help please!

    Open itunes.
    First go to the edit menu, select preferences, click the advanced tab, and select importing.For best song capacity on the ipod, make sure that the encoder is set to "Import using AAC encoder", and "High quality 128 kbps". Hit OK.
    Then go to file menu, go to "add file to library" or if its a whole folder go to "add folder to library". Go through folders to find the songs (usually in "My Music" )
    Select the song or songs you want to add, then hit open. To select more than one song from a folder, click the first one, hold shift, then click the last song you want to select.
    A box will come up saying "one or more of the files you are adding are wma files",click ok and itunes will convert them into aac format (this could take a while if you have a number of songs).
    It should be noted that this will only work with unprotected WMA files, not ones bought off of the windows media store or imported to windows media with protection.
    Hope this helps

  • Converting a FCP sequence to Windows Media File - please help!

    Hi fellow mac users, please help if you can would mean the world to me! I'm trying to export an edited sequence (32mins in length) from FCP 5 using Quicktime conversion to a Windows Media File. Although I'm able to launch the process successfully, it just seems to convert the very first minute or two and not the entire thing! I'm not well versed in these technical issues, so have no clue how to figure this out. I've even tried in vain to compress the sequence first, import into FCP and then try to export as WM but no luck. My boss is away and client is pushing and I'm stressing!
    So if you can help, that would be fantastic!
    many thanks in advance.

    Cleaner and Sorenson are huge and complex transcoders. You just need time and a credit card to download and then lots of time to experiment and figure out the quirks of each application. You do not have this time. Telestream offers a competitor called Episode. it's cool.
    Get the full version of telestream's flip4Mac (if it was installed properly you can do this with a click on the system prerf panel for flip4mac). You will need a credit card. Be prepared for a very long transcode to WMP, even on a big Macintosh. I don't think you have the time for any of this nonsense.

  • I have converted most of my windows media files to itunes. However I had to close it down about 3 quarters of the way through. It then processed the album art. How can I convert the files that it didn't finish doing the first time? thanks

    Hi there,
    hope you can help me. I helped my sister convert her window media files to itunes and set up an account for her. Unfortunately her computer is really slow and it was really late and we had to turn it off. It processed some of the album art for the files that it had converted. However, some songs were not converted and because there was quite a few left, I don't really know which ones did not get converted as I selected  all of the folders. How do I find out which ones I have left to convert and put the rest of the songs onto itunes for her please? Or are they on the itunes still as they showed up initially on itunes in the list to be converted.
    Thank you!

    You could convert them all again and then dedupe, or use a Windows search to reveal all the WMA files and then try to work out which still need to be converted. If you're lucky iTunes would have processed the imports in alphabetical path order so it would just be a matter of working out where it had got up to...

  • How do I import a SPSS .sav file into SQL 2008 r2 using SSIS

    Hi there,
    Like the title says, I'm trying to import an SPSS .SAV file into an SQL 2008 R2 database using SSIS.
    I've tried a few things, but i cant seem to get it to work properly. I'm hoping there's someone out there who could point me in the right direction.
    I've tried the following:
    Tried the IBM step by step manual (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v6r0m1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Faccess_odbc.htm)
    --Couldnt folow this guide because I didnt have the SPSS MR DM-2 OLE DB Provider.
    Tried installing the provider using (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Fdts_troubleshooting.htm) as a guide to download the provider listed (www-03.ibm.com/software/products/nl/spss-data-model).
    --This didnt work, I still could not see the provider listed after install and rebooting the server.
    Tried to get the file as CSV (Company couldnt provide it in CSV or another format)
    The server is a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64-bit, has the Data Collection Data Model installed on it with SQL Server 2008 R2.
    If anyone could point me in the right direction they could make my day!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Ronny,
    According to your description, you want to import a SPSS .sav file to SQL Server 2008 R2 database. If that is the case, we can achieve this requirement with SPSS or SQL query. For more details, please refer to the following methods:

  • Exporting to a Windows Media File- best quality????

    I imported a 15 -slide powerpoint (converted to jpeg) and added music, and Premiere transitions
    The Premiere movie is about 3 minutes long.
    I then needed to save (and burn to disks) as a Windows Media File.  A program that all of my 35 business offices would have easy access to and could play the Business movie that I have created.
    When I playback, the first "slide" looks great, the music sounds great... but when it makes it first trnasition to slide 2, the face on the picutre is fuzzy for about 2-3 seconds then becomes real clear..... going to slide 3, same thing.... slide 4.... same thing.
    so I went to the Advanced settings.  I have no clue what setting to change to make this fuzzy to clear part not happen.
    CAN ANYONE give me a suggestion???????
    I have Premiere Elements 4.
    My settings show:
    Preset- Cable Modem DSL
    Codec WM video 9
    Encoding Passes "two"
    Bitrate:0 Variable Unconstrained
    1282x960
    Frame Rate : 60
    Pixel Aspect Square 1.0
    Decode Complexity  auto
    Keyframe Internal   5 seconds
    Buffer default
    Avg Bitrate  255

    If you're intending to stream that WMV over the internet to your other offices,  that 1280x960 frame size is pretty unrealistic.
    WMVs are optimized for internet streaming at 320x240 pixels. At 16 times that size, your file would likely not flow smoothly even if you could successfully create a file that size.
    If you use the Cable preset at its default setting, you'll do much better.
    Other factors determining the quality of your output are:
    What project settings you're using for your Premiere Elements project
    What resolution your photos are in the slideshow (You want them to be as close to the actual size they'll be in the slideshow as possible -- with an ideal size of about 1000x750 pixels)
    Finally, JPEG outputs from PowerPoint don't make the best source files for Premiere Elements slideshows.
