Export Using QuickTime Conversion To Windows Media (.wmv)

I have Final Cut Pro HD version 4.5 that runs on my G5. I have a problem when I try to export video to Windows Media file (.wmv). After I select Export / Using QuickTime Conversion and than choose Windows Media in Format box, Final Cut does compile a .wmv file. The only problem is that it's only 30 sec. long when the original video that sits on Timeline is 2 mintues long. When I export the same video to Quick Time file, everything works perfectly and the duration of .mov file is the same.
I tried to set in and out points, but it made no difference.
So now I can't make a file that can get played on Windows computer that has only Windows Media player. And .avi file is not an option since I can't get one compressed enought, so it turns out too big. I understand that I can buy some third party software to make .wmv file, but I want to make sure that out of box Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 can't make Windows Media files before spending extra money.

You need to buy the full version of flip-4-mac to encode/save to a wmv. Sounds like you only have the trail/free playback version...
You need either the pro version or studio version:

Quicktime Installation and Windows Media Player in IE 9

Upon installation, Quicktime becomes the add-on player of mp3 files in Internet Explorer 9 when running under Windows 7 (x64). I want to return that function to Windows Media Player. Every prospective solution I've come across so far has no effect, including altering preferences in Quicktime, changing file associations, and managing add-ons. Definitive solution, anyone?

If the website you visit to view these mp3 files is setup to use QuickTime player to handle them. Than changing file association preferences may not make a difference because the HTML is written for QT to handle

Converting video ( quicktime) to a windows media player video

Does anyone know how I can convert a quicktime movie into a windows media player video?

You need to purchase Flip4Mac.

Quicktime Conversion to Windows Media

Hi,
I just finiz editing a 8 minutes movie.
When i try to export it using Quicktime Conversion to _Windows Media_, the exported file is only 30 seconds long.
I'm puzzled. Anyone knows why?
If i export to Quicktime directly, it is ok. However, when i copy it to my laptop (Windows) and open it with Quicktime 7.2, i got problems playing it. The movie is just blank white but i can still hear the audio.
Any advise? Thanks.

It's probably because you only have the trial version of Flip4Mac installed, which only gives you 30" max export times. If you want to make full use of Flip4Mac, you must invest a little cash.
There are a few different options/prices, but to get at least the basic export options I think it's about £25... might be wrong... you can of course invest in 'Episode' (also via Flip4Mac website) that will give you every possible export option and more, but costs a lot of money.

Exporting to Windows Media Player

Whenever I try to export a movie from Quicktime Pro to Windows Media Player it will only create a 30 second clip. Why won't it export the whole file? Thanks for any info/tips!

You have only the playback version of flip-4-mac, free. To encode you need to buy the component that allows you to export to WMP.

Software for converting quicktime to windows media player

I am having difficult converting a movie from Quicktime or even IMovie to a program that can be run on a Windows PC.

To convert to Windows Media Player (with .wmv extension), you will need one of the Paid versions of Flip4Mac.
Flip4Mac gives you the components you need. Use something like MPEG Streamclip to do the actual conversion.
If you just want to play it on a Windows PC, but don't care about Windows Media format, there are two ways to go.
1) Just use SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE in the size you want. On the PC, you need to install QuickTime Player for Windows.
2) You can also use SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose Movie to MPEG4. Choose h.264 as the codec. With this option, it should play on Windows without the need for QuickTime Player to be installed.
I may receive some compensation from my link.

How to get quicktime files to play in Windows Media Player...

Hello. I've got a Mac and use iMovie to create vid's. I need them to export in a format that can be played in Windows Media Player on a PC. I've installed WMV (even bought the Studio version) and they were converted to mp4 files. They play great on the PC using Quicktime in the mp4 format, but when opening them into windows media player I keep getting a codec error. Is there anyway to get around this? Unfortunately, they have to be played on a PC in media player to be presented. Thanks for your time once again!

Your bought WMV? Do you mean Flip4mac? If you just mean the ancient Windows Media Player for Mac, it won't work.
Reading this set of directions you export to WMV and name the file with a WMV extension:

If you don't have Flip4mac, that is, the $50 version, not the $29 version, you can't export, just import.

Windows Media Player plugin & Safari - Quicktime opens up???

Everytime I'm on a website and I click on a video clip that is a windows media player video file (wmv), the file opens up with the quicktime plug in - and the whole wmv won't play. I have to download the clip to see the whole thing in my Windows Media Player.
How do I set up Safari so it will play wmv clips with a windows media player plug in so I don't have to download a bunch of video clips that I just wanted to see on a website.

This is what you need flip4mac. Just go to the link and download it.

Windows Media Player Extension Overrides Quicktime Plugin in IE 7 & 8

I have some .mp4 videos on my website that stream brilliantly with the Quicktime plug-in, in Firefox.
If I use IE, the information bar drops down and wants to use "Windows Media Player Extension." If a user allows it, the player turns into a WMP GUI. At that point it is impossible to switch back to the Quicktime Plug-in.
I'm afraid users will allow the WMP Extension and then never be able to watch the videos. Any suggestions?

Proper html page code would "force" the QuickTime browser plug-in be used instead of Windows Media Player even if the user had the .mp4 extension assigned to it.

Free software that can write the code. You need only copy/paste it into your page.
You could also put the same codecs into a .mov container (simple Save As using QuickTime Player Pro). Nearly all users have the .mov file extension assigned to QuickTime.

Not able to open Windows Media Player files with Quicktime Pro

Hi,
I have recently downloaded a couple of videos that I am planning to use in FCP. The file extension of the downloaded videos is .asf and I am able to play them with Windows Media Player. However, to use them in FCP I have to convert them into Quicktime format. I have Quicktime Pro version 7.0.4 and I was told that I should be able to open the files in Quicktime therefore automatically converting them into quicktime files. It's not working and I am completely out of options and ideas.
Please help if you ever had that problem.
Thanks in advance

As I understand it M$ is providing additional distribution as a sort of "seal of approval."
Don't forget WMV/WMA is a proprietary codec from M$ and involves licensing. In that sense they're providing resources. Apparently the Flip4Mac folks are actually building it themselves though.
Think of it as being in the construction business and you're required to buy the lumber from only one source but you still have to build the house yourself.
I've just got done downloading the newer version and
I hope for improvements.
It looks like M$ is giving some resources to the
flip4mac creators. Maybe a M$ "plant" all along?

WVC80N - AVI recorded files cannot be viewed in Quicktime or Windows Media Player

I have tried on two seperate PCs and the AVI files will not load. I have inspected the AVI files to be ISO MPEG-4 Video V1 standard and therefore should be able to be played by Windows Media Player and Quicktime but they both complain they cannot be played. Anyone else ran into this? I should have the specific codecs by default. The error message from quicktime is that there is required software needed to play this file and I get redirected to a generic page of possible plug ins. Windows Media player gives me a generic error with a link to some random troubleshooting steps that dont apply.
As a side note Nero Showtime can open the file and play it...

To Download VLC Software, Go to http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ and download and Install the VLC Media Player on your computer. Once the Installation is completed then you will be able to play the Video Files using VLC Player.

Quicktime and windows media player question??

i have sent a quicktime file of a spot i did for a client, they like it and have uploaded it to their website, but they are getting some that say they can not view it because they only use windows media player, i know this maybe a stupid question but how can i send them a copy they can use in media player so they have both?? thanks for you help!!!

you can buy and use the WMV Studio windows media export components from Flip4Mac which wil allow you to export to a windows media format directly from FCP and other suitable QT compliant apps ...
or you can copy the file over onto your own quicktime enabled PC and use the free, and much faster, windows media encoder there.

Audio sync different between QuickTime and Windows Media Player

I've run into a new problem I've never encountered before. When playing a video on QuickTime on a Windows PC, the audio is in perfect sync. However, when I play the same QT video on Windows Media Player, the audio is out of sync by as much as three seconds. The Windows software is current. The source content is created using ProTools 10 on a Mac running Yosemite, from an original QT mp4 converted to a .mov via quicktime for import into ProTools. The output was a standard .mov. I also tried converting it to an mp4 via QT, but the result was the same.
This is a pretty alarming discovery as I now have to test any videos bounced from ProTools on a PC Windows Media Player to make sure someone doesn't view it this way, with the audio sync appearing incorrectly.
Anybody know why this happened? Or how to prevent it in the future?
