Possible to create a Window Media file?

I have a completed project in HDV and my client asked for a Windows Media output. I can do a Quicktime file in Compression but cannot find a setting for a Window Media. Any suggestions?

You actually have to buy it to be able to export. The free plug only lets you play wmv.

  • Windows Media file write failure

    Help, I'm using a Gateway computer with Windows XP Professional OS, version 2002 and Service Pack3. It has Intel Core CPU, 6600 @ 2.40GHz, 2.41 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM. I have both Premiere Pro CS3 and CS4 installed. There's 54.1 GB of free space on my Hard Drive with 94.9 GB used.
    I used to create .wmv files without issue with CS3 but with CS4 there's a failure every time. The project exports to Media Encoder and Encoder goes through all of the process and even looks like it finishes up. But once it gets to the end, here's the message I get.
    Windows Delayed Write Failed
    Windows was unable to save all the Data for (my file) The Data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save file elsewhere.
    It also had this message in separate window:
    Adobe Media Encoder Debug Event
    Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an error.
    [..\..\src\Batch.cpp-186]
    I tried changing all of the variables I could in the Media Encoder for creating a Windows Media File. For ex. you can choose several presets: "NTSC source to high quality download" "NTSC Source to Download 1024kbps " and several others. I haven't tried changing anything on the Filters, Audiences, Video, Audio or Others tabs. I never had to with CS3. Plus I don't know much about the Codec for Video or Audio.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Rick,
    WMV is a very intense CODEC to work with. It requires power and time on either end - decoding or encoding. My guess would be that the throughput of the USB 2.0 connection just cannot keep up with that processing, where many other formats/CODEC's are easier to work with.
    As for the minimum requirements, we find that they are horribly light. To lift from Monty Python, "we blow our noses in their general direction." They are provided to tell a user what it takes to install and launch the program, but when it comes to using said program - well, that is usually another matter.
    If you have a desktop, and it has room in the case, you can most likely just add two more (2x is about the true min., and 3x is better) physical HDD's, of the controller type as your C:\. Depending on the MoBo, you probably have a SATA controller, and could add up to 3 additional drives, for basically the price of the drive, some cables, if not supplied, and a few screws. Most cases have the necessary mounting, or cages, for additional drives. Note the words "most," "probably," etc., as nothing in the PC world is created equal.
    Were I making the request, I'd propose adding 2 more HDD's, at 7200 RPM and of the same controller type as your C:\. I'd ask for a minimum size of 500GB, but shoot for 1TB for each. Do not know if you have a Fry's Electronics near you (they are a Western US retailer), but they constantly have at least one such HDD on sale per week, and at very good prices.
    Ignore SCSI. It's good and fast, but the drives are limited in size and the $/GB is not high. A RAID 0 array would be good for the media drive (actually it would be 2 HDD's), but to really benefit, one would do best with a hardware managed RAID, and most RAID controllers on MoBo's leave something to be desired. Harm makes recommendations for dedicated hardware RAID, but then you are talking having to do a real "dog & pony" show for you CFO, or Controller!
    Maybe Harm has some suggestions, considering that you are on a city's budget.
    Good luck, and glad that things are working for you. Think about relegating that USB 2.0 external to archiving Assets.

  • 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.

  • Mailed PDF files arrive on Windows platform as corrupt Windows Media files

    Recently I mailed some .pdf files to 3 of the Windows machines on our network. Each of them reported that when attempting to open the .pdf file on the Windows machine, their system tried to use Windows Media instead of Adobe Reader. Of course they received an error message. When they saved the .pdf files on their machines, the files opened correctly in Adobe Reader.
    These are files that I downloaded from the State of Oregon. After we had problems there, I mailed them some of the .pdf files I had created. Same results. The Windows machine treats them as corrupt Windows Media files.
    I am the only Mac in our company. Of course the problem must be mine!?!
    I am using MS Entourage as my mail client.
    Suggestions? Comments? Answers?
    Thanks!!

    Kappy,
    No problem! Your suggestions were what made me consider the extension option in Entourage's preferences. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
    Your suggestion also prompted me to try the same thing using Mail. Mail worked just fine, so the problem is in how Entourage handles the .pdf file being sent to a Windows computer where it will be opened either in Outlook or Internet Explorer.
    It seems that Somewhere along the line, the .pdf extension is being changed to a .png extension which triggers the launch of Windows Media Browser.
    I just rebuilt the Entourage database and I'll see what happens now.

  • Is it possible to call a windows batch file from PL/SQL

    Hi gurus,
    Would require your help.Is it possible to call a windows batch file from PL/SQL??If yes can you give an example for the same or any workaround for the same.
    Regards
    Vijay

    Hi!
    Youn need some extproc related entries in you listener.ora and tnsnames.ora file.
    *1. In the listener.ora:*
    Defining the listener process is done in two parts.
    The information contained in each listener differs!!!
    The first part is as follows:
    LISTENER =
      (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
        (DESCRIPTION =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = extproc))  <---  *ADD THIS LINE
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yourhostname)(PORT = 1521))
      )The seoncd part is as follows:
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
      (SID_LIST = 
        (SID_DESC =
          (GLOBAL_DBNAME = YOUR_GLOBAL_DBNAME)
          (ORACLE_HOME = c:\oracle\product\10.2.0)  <-- THIS IS YOUR ORACLE_HOME
          (SID_NAME = YOUR_SID)                            <-- SID
        (SID_DESC =                                              <--- ADD THIS LINE
          (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)                          <--- ADD THIS LINE
          (ORACLE_HOME = c:\oracle\product\10.2.0) <--- ADD THIS LINE AND EDIT TO YOUR ORACLE_HOME
          (PROGRAM = extproc)                                <--- ADD THIS LINE
          (ENV = "EXTPROC_DLLS=ANY")                  <--- ADD THIS LINE
        )                                                                <--- ADD THIS LINE
      )*2. In the tnsnames.ora you need to add the following entry:*
    *(The KEY value entered must be match to the KEY value entered int the listener.ora file!)*
    EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS_LIST =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = extproc))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SID = PLSExtProc)
          (PRESENTATION = RO)
      )Finally you need to restart your listiner. After restarting there will be a service called "PLSExtProc" in your listener.
    This are only examples for extproc configuration, your tnsnames.ora and listener.ora can be differs.
    FIRST MAKE MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL tnsnames.ora AND listener.ora FILES
    For more information please check metalink note 68061.1 "EXTPROC: Creating External Procedures on Windows NT"

  • Can't export timeline as a Windows Media file anymore.

    Using Premiere 5.0.3 for over 2 yrs now.  No problems until now.  I first export my 30 min. timeline as a H.264 file as a master.  No problem.  Then I would export my timeline as a Windows Media file (NTSC Widescreen) for easier viewing on other computers.  Again, no problem - until  last week.  Each time I try to export now as a WMV file, it takes the usual over an hour to do the conversion, but then when I look at the file information after it's completed, instead of the approx. 400 Mb file size, it will be some other smaller file size anywhere from 4 Mb to 217 Mb.  Everytime I try to export again, (and waiting again over an hour each time for the conversion to complete), the file size will be something considerably less than it should be and different each time...but the time will always be what the video should be - approx. 30 min.  If I view the video, it will abrutly end corresponding to the file size, IE - if the file size is 200 Mb, the video stops at about 15 min.  What happened?  Nothing changed in my computer.  No new program was added.  No settings were changed...and my editing computer is not connected to the Internet so as to avoid any possible contaminaton from outside sources.

    Thanks Jim for your responses.  It's suggestions like yours that get me to think in another direction, which is a good thing.
    I never suspected anything wrong with the hard drive or any corresponding components because the drive worked fine otherwise - playing back clips already on it, transferring files from one drive to another, etc.  At any rate, I opened up the computer case and swapped out the SATA cable to that drive (I have lots of spares of everything) and then did a defrag and check of the drive which all showed good.  I then exported a couple more videos in the WMV format to that drive and everything worked fine, so hopefully all is good from now on.
    Again, thanks for your help.

  • Wave vs Windows Media File sizes

    I installed iTunes on my Windows PC. I have a tune on my PC that is a Windows Media File that is 4626 kb. I imported the tune to iTunes and it converted it to Wave Sound and the file size is now 50,665 kb which is more than ten times bigger than the Windows Media file. As a test I then did this with a couple of albums and the same thing happened with all the selections on each album. It seems like I need ten times the disk space when using iTune than when using Windows.
    Can anyone explain what is happening here.
    Thanks
    Ted

    WMF (and MP3 and AAC) is a compressed and lossy format. You lose sound quality.
    WAV is not. A WAV is the same size as the file on a regular audio CD, usually ~35-75 MB.
    When you convert from a lossy format (WMF) to lossless format (WAV) the quality will be the same.
    If you convert between WMF/AAC/MP3, you quality will go down each time.
    When you convert between formats, you should always start off with the best possible quality (WAV or AIFF or CD).
    With iTunes the default format is AAC 128 kbps.
    This is a good compromise between file size and sound quality.
    AAC is a higher quality sound when using the same bitrate as an MP3.
    AAC and MP3 will be very close to the same file size when using the same bitrate.
    However, 128 kbps AAC will sound at least as good as a 160 kbps MP3 and the AAC will be about 2/3 the size.
    I use AAC 160 kbps. I can definitely hear the difference between 128 and 160 kbps AAC.
    If you are importing from CDs, you should use AAC 128 kbps (but I recommend 160 kbps).
    Open iTunes prefs -> Advanced -> Importing.
    This is where you can change the Import settings.

  • Exporting to Windows Media file

    I am using FCE 3.5, I am trying to export my project as a Windows Media file. Problem is, my project is 5 minutes long and it is only exporting the first 29 seconds. When I export as .mov file I get the whole 5 minutes, just can't do it for Windows Media file. Anyone know why this may be? Help please.
    I have tried making sure in and out points are at beginning and end of project, I have also selected all clips before choosing to export.

    Anyone know why this may be?
    Because a trial version of Flip4Mac is powering the conversion. You need to purchase Flip4Mac WMV Studio to create a longer Windows Media file.
    If it looks like QuickTime's powering it, it's not.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Safari tries to open Windows Media files using iTunes

    Sometimes when I try to view a Windows Media file on my PowerBook running 10.3.9 instead of the Windows Media player opening to play the file iTunes will open. When that happens I have to force quite iTunes and Safari, locate a WMV file on my hard drive, use the Get Info window to set all WMV files to open using the WMV player. It wouldn't be so bad if I only had to do this once, but I have to do it over and over again from time to time.
    I'm not sure but repairing permissions might be one of the triggers that requires me to redo this, but it might not be necessary for me to repair premissions in order for this to happen. I can fix the problem when it occurs, but it's annoying and a waste of time to have to do it over and over again.
    Has anybody else had this problem? anybody know hot to fix it once and for all? Thanks.

    Upgrade to newer version which is comparable with Yosemite.
