.mov to .wmv

Running QT Pro 7.6. I have successfully downloaded a YouTube video and convert to QT and it works. I need to put it in a PPT presentation to be used on a PC using wmv.
I tried using an online service (mediaconvert) to change .mov to .wmv, but only the sound was preserved. The video was lost. Same results on multiple attempts.
What do I need to do to make this work. I'm talking about perhaps 30 secs of video max.

MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files.

Since "upgrading" to Lion my MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files, all I get is a black screen and the audio. It's so frustrating!!
I've read many other posts all along the same lines and wherever possible I've tried to follow the advice which has been given but nothing works.    I've updated all the drivers I can and I've even reinstalled Lion, nothing makes a difference.
I'm not really looking for any more advice, all I want is someone from Apple to read these posts, realise there is problem and get working on a fix or update.
I had no problems when running Snow Leopard and it would seem, looking at everyone else's problems, that the common issue is Lion.   Seriously, this is one area where Lion is a backwards step.   It should just work (like most things from Apple), but it doesn't.
Personally I believe there is a problem with Lion but from what I've found out from speaking to friends with other Apple kit, this might be a random issue only affecting some people as some have said they've had no problems while others have had the same issues as me.    One guy reinstalled Lion and it resolved the issue for him, I've not been as lucky.
As I say, I'm not really looking for more advice, simply some sort of update from Apple to fix it.   PLEASE!!!

This is a peer-to-peer user forum. Perhaps you would see more action if you and others would file a formal "Bug" report with Apple QuickTime technical people rather than repeatedly reporting a possible problematic problem which may or may not affect others on a random basis. QUICKTIME PRODUCT FEEDBACK
Since you aren't seeking further advice here is what I have observed. Not being a regular WMV file user, I had to create my own sample file to test—a WMV 9 file containing WMV3 compressed video and WMA2 compressed audio. Since I normally use QT 7 as my primary media player, I also stored the WMV data in its partially decompressed form in an MOV file container to avoid pre-playback delays in "classic" player routines and also provide a secondary playback test of MOV wrapped content. These files play as follows using the Flip4Mac component/player support and uncoded URL uploads:
QT 7.6.6 "Open File" - both files play correctly.
QT 7.6.6 "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
QT X.1 "Open File" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file plays video without audio.
QT X.1 "Open Location" - WMV file appears to open but plays with "black" screen and no audio. MOV file plays video without audio.
VLC "Open File" - WMV plays correctly. MOV file doesn't open,
VLC "Open URL" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file appears to open but nothing plays.
MPEG Streamclip "Open File" - both files play correctly.
MPEG Streamclip "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
GarageBand - WMV file will not import but MOV file does.
iTunes - WMV file will not import. MOV file container is accepted but as soon as iTuness sees the compression formats, it aborts import.
Safari - WMV file URL auto-downloads and playes in the QT X.1 Player. The MOV file URL opens and plays in Safari.
As you can see from these results the files do play but are subject to many different constrints based on old/new video technology support, independent QT subsets and/or container trapping constraints. In short, individual user results will depend on presence/absence of component support, actual compression formats, file container, application being used, and how the application is being used. Unfortunately, most users here can't or won't provide the prerequisite information or a sample file for independent examination. This makes it next to impossible to give advice in these matters or categorize the specific nature of the problem.

Slideshow in Photoshop Elements 9 keeps crashing when I try to output it to movie file (wmv)

Made a slideshow using Photoshop Elements 9 that keeps crashing when I try to output it to movie file (wmv).
This message appear: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error
This is totally new to me as I have made a few slidshows before and saved them into wmv-files without any problem.I tried to open the file and renew it "save as" and did the whole procedure over again but it still crasches. There is no video in the slideshow and all pics are .jpg and to summarize it - 5 days of work is nearly gone if this doesent convert into a wmv-file..... Pls advise any suggestion what to try here.
Best regards

Your crash has nothing to do with the junk filter. It looks more like a corrupt preferences file. If you're curious, you may check the validity of that file issuing the following command in Terminal:
plutil ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plistWhat does it say? Now, try this:
1. Quit Mail.
2. Make a backup copy of the HOME/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Preferences/. Locate the file com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
You'll have to set up your accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don't. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in HOME/Library/Mail/ when done.
You'll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. The first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable "Display remote images in HTML messages" if it's enabled.

Convert flash QT.mov to WMV or MPG

Please help!
Does anyone know the simplest way to convert a flash
animation Quicktime movie to WMV or MPG?
This is a rush, I'm working under deadline. Originally, I was
told QT.mov was acceptable format.
Now, I'm being told that their server can only handle WMV or
MPG. When they tried to convert the
QT file it was converted without the audio track. I've tried
to download serveral of the free shareware converters -- no luck.
(either corrupted or some glitch occurs or company logo is
embedded in converted file).
I know AE (AfterEffects) to some degree and I believe I can
export to WMV of MPG there. But this is a huge file,
trying to download it now at a cybercafe with two T1 lines --
still it's "watching paint dry".
Please anybody, any suggestions, please.
Thank you.

I think the simpliest way converting flash into video - use
Flash To Video
Encoder.
recommendation for
Adobe Premiere
is a good one too

Exporting movies to wmv files

Trying to export short movies into wmv files. After I create the file through Expert Settings and choosing wmv, I open the file and it is only 30 seconds long. The original file in iMovie is 3 minutes long. I have tried other movies and even saved them as MOV's and they all are only 30 seconds after exporting as well. Is there a setting that I am not seeing that is defaulting to 30 seconds for the length? How do I change it so the exported movie is as long as the original in iMovie? Thanks!!

I purchsed the Studio version and it works fine now. Thanks for the help. One issue I do see is that I can't change the size of the movies while exporting as WMV files. Before I upgraded I was able to choose the size of the movie I wanted to export, now that is all greyed out. Is there a reason for that?

Flip video-FCE Editing and .mov to WMV conversion

We have bought some new Flip video camcorders- i need to edit the footage and then convert them to WMV so that they can be embedded into a powerpoint presentation.
Here's the problem:
-The flip videos are MP4 files
- I have been importing these files into FCE, making the appropriate edits & then exporting the final sequence as a .mov file.
- At this stage i have a .mov that i wish to convert into WMV so that it can be embedded into the presentation. This is where the problem occurs- The video converter goes very strange, fuzzy and as though its a tv is zero reception (signal).
I have been reading up and now realise that FCE does not recognise MP4 files, so i tried:
- Converting the raw flip video footage from MP4 to .mov
-Bringing this .mov file into FCE
-Exporting the final sequence as an .mov file & then trying to convert to WMV
This is where another problem occurs:
The convertor is only recognising the audio and not the video. I have the audio from the sequence but not the video....
I have tried varies convertors so i know it is not my regestered convertor at fault (wondershare video)
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE BLEEEEEP IS GOING ON & WHAT A SOLUTION MIGHT BE?
MANY THANKS!!!!!

Hi David,
Thanks for your response. I have been trying this technique but it doesn't seem to work either. I immediately converted the footage from MP4 to .mov. I then imported the .mov file into final cut express for editing. Once the sequence was ready i exported as a .mov file and then used 'wondershare video convertor' to convert from .mov to WMV. This doesn't seem to solve the problem. In this case i can get the audio but not the visual....
I have taken your advice and downloaded 'flip4mac'. I have just currently got the free trial as i want to know if it works before paying. It seems to open up in quicktime player but wont allow me to export file and convert to wmv....
What exactly is flip4mac good for and how do you use it? I know it runs hand in hand with quicktime, so in this respect isn't your standard convertor?
Do you have any suggestions? Surely it shouldn't be hard?
Many thanks,
Ed

Final cut pro- .mov to wmv conversion?

Hello, I'm trying to convert a 10 minute .mov file (h264) into a .wmv and everytime I try, it only exports 20 seconds worth even though it finishes through until the end. Why is it doing this? Can I make it go all the way through? I'd like to find an easy way to just convert .mov to wmv using Quicktime pro or Final Cut Pro and not have to go through additional software (especially software that costs money). Any help will be appreciated-- thank you

Yes. Windows Media Encoder is your friend.
I wrote up a blog post with how I did it (http://tinyurl.com/28xfbdy[) but in short, I created an archive quality MPEG-2 program stream (35 Mbps). That file can then be opened by Windows Media Encoder and you can encode it however you want.
The other really easy option if you bought before they went out of business - VisualHub will convert directly from a QuickTime file to Windows Media.

Help needed in playing HTML ' object ' videos with formats mov, avi, wmv...

Hi,
Here is where I am at this juncture...
I have a requirement wherein I need to render an HTML text containing an '<object>' tag which embeds a video, for example:-
<object width="320" height="240"
           data="javascript/media/ABC.wmv"
           type="application/x-mplayer2">
          <param name="url" value="javascript/media/ABC.wmv" />
</object>
Now I need to render this video into my Flex Web Application.
One way to do it, as I see, is somehow extract the 'data' attribute and put it as a 'source' for spark VideoPlayer.
Is there any better way to do this?
Also note that, I require to render all video formats (avi, mov, wmv etc.) and not just flv or f4v. Any pointers for this would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you read the system requirements for this device it clearly states X.3 or higher. However, I'm wondering if this also includes X.5.1 or not .....

MOV to WMV conversion problem

I have quicktime pro and am trying to covert quicktime mov files to wmv files. The conversion happens, but when I play the wmv file I find that only part of the mov file was converted. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

QT Pro is using the free demo codec (I assume you have the free Flip4Mac player component installed). To export full conversions you must purchase the QT to WMV export codec that comes in the $49 package. (The $29 codec only converts from WMV to QT.)

MOV to WMV on Intel Mac

Unfortunately, Flip4Mac has not yet been updated to work on an Intel Core Duo Mac. In the meantime, does anyone have a solution for converting MOV files to WMV that will work?
Thanks!

HELP! Converting MPEG4 into Mov, AVI, WMV

I made a small clip on iMovie. I need to upload to a website for my band. I clicked on Share then export movie to my desktop. The website clearly says..."For video, we accept the following formats: WMV, MOV, AVI, MPG, MP4, FLV"
Also, "SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT VIDEO:
GigMasters will automatically convert all WMV, MOV, AVI, MPG, and MP4 files to FLV. The conversion process will change the size of your video to 320 x 240 if it's not that size already. Also, the "audio sampling rate" of the video must be 11025 hz, 22050 hz, or 44,100 hz. Otherwise the audio may be garbled on playback."
Everytime I try to upload it tells me, "We do not accept the format of the file you selected. Please make sure your file format matches one of those listed above."
Somebody please help. Thank you.

If using 4:3, which would be better given the AR of the movie required by your website, using the export to movie and then choosing the mobile size should be just fine. However your website may not like the .m4v extension added to the movie, in which case simply open the movie in Quicktime and select save as from the file menu, the resulting video will now be in a .mov container which you can then try uploading to your website.

Quicktime exports only part of my movie to WMV

I'm trying to export a QT to WMV using QT conversion, but it will only convert about 45 seconds of the movie. Any ideas?

I would bet that you're using Flip4Mac in trial mode for that conversion process. You'll have to buy the license from them for $49. to get the restriction removed...it's worth it, if you do this sort of thing a lot. Go to the F4M preferences and click on the upgrad tab.

TROUBLE Converting .MOV to .WMV w-Quicktime Pro

I've been using the EXPORT feature to convert a .mov file to a .wmv file but it will only export 30 SECONDS of any .mov file I try!! I also tried converting to a .avi file first. That didn't work either.
I have Quicktime pro.

MAC OS 10.3.9
I have Flip4Mac also.
Does anyone know how to resolve???
imac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks for the info. Why is is that QT Pro advertises media conversion then if it needs an additional Flip4Mac purchase to deliver the promise ?QT supports the "native" conversion of QT compatible formats and, with certain caveats, limited support to some non-QT compatible formats. Here is the list of SUPPORTED FORMATS. I don't see such proprietary Windows based formats as WMV, DivX, XviD, 3ivX, MS-MPEG4 v1-4, etc. listed among them. QT is not a universal converter any more than GM is a universal maker of auto parts for all automobile manufacturers.
On a separate note, doesn't iMovie do everything that QT Pro promises to do ? If so, is QT pro not needed for people with iMovie ?With regard to conversions, yes, iMovie includes internal access to the same QT structures as the QT Pro Player with one possibly important difference. QT Pro can transcode directly between fully supported compression formats while iMovie must convert them to DV first. This does mean a "double conveersion" is required in most cases and does open the door to possible loss of quality. In addition, QT Pro is capable of a number of file presentation/playback manipulations that iMovie cannot duplicate.

No sound after converting .mov to .wmv using QT Pro...

Any idea why this might happen? sound works fine in the mov file, but when I "Export" it as a .wmv -- video looks great, but no sound.

QuickTime Pro doesn't export to WMP formats without some third party software help. Try their forums:

Trouble converting MOV to WMV

I have QT Pro 7.5 running on a new Mac. Have to convert a very large MOV file to WMV. Used the export selection and changed settings to WMV. File converted but only about a minute's worth of a 40 minute presentation. Tried several times and still only converts a minute. Went thru all the settings and looked nothing would seem to indicate only a 1 minute conversion. Would certainly appreciate the help as the project is waiting to be converted, burned and shipped out. My thanks, Ed.

I guess this might be a bit late for you but it may help others. I found a web site that allows you to upload videos for conversion to just about any format for NOTHING. Thats right... No Cost, No software downloads, updates etc. They do Sound File conversion too.
Go to http://media-convert.com/ or Google 'media convert' and select your file then the format you wish to convert it to, then upload to this web site. The site then emails you when the conversion is complete and ready for downloading. It stays on the web server for 24 hours. There is a 150MB limit on the file size.
There is a Youtube video that explains the process in detail.

I converted a MOV file to a WMV without needing to spend $150 bucks on Flip4Mac.
Good luck. Adrian
