Quicktime.mov file to Windows media file?

Question what is the best settings to convert a Quicktime.mov file (40mb) done in HD 1080i wide formate to a windows media file so I can send in an email for review. I use FCE 3.5.1 apple G5 computer, I'm not sure of the settings in FCE for output to compres the file, I know it won't look very good it is just for a review of content
Regards

The settings will depend in part on how small you need to get the file. And exactly what format you want to use. Are you talking Windows Media literally (wmv) or just something that will open on a windows machine (such as mp4)

  • Exporting movie as a windows media file

    Hi Everyone
    I'm using QT pro 7.1.3 and I have exported a Flash movie out of Flash Pro V 8.0 to quicktime. The quality is great and the file size is 8Mb. My client wants the movie as a .wma file windows movie file so I have opened the .mov in QT and tried to export as a movie to windows media player and tried various default options but the quality is appalling and if I try a higher quality the export fails. Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. The Flash movie has some action script at the end but I have tried exporting with and without it (I know it prob won't make any difference as the .mov file is not interactive).
    Many thanks
    Mike

    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.

  • QuickTime plug-in for Window Media Files?

    Microsoft recently announced that they will stop developing any update or improvement for Window Media Player for the Mac: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060113/apon_hi_te/microsoftapple
    It is a little disappointing aspect because sometimes I keep running into cool websites that have many WMFs but few or no QT support. Right now I'm unable to play any WMF because Window Media Player is very buggy.
    Is Apple going to push for some kind of WMF plug-in support for future QuickTime app since Microsoft is going to kill off development for WMP for the Mac?
    Please advice.

    Windows Media Player 9 for the Mac has not been updated since 2003 so Microsoft's announcement is disingenuous to say the least. They haven't supported or developed the thing in, literally, years.
    I cannot say enough good things about the Flip4Mac WMV player that allows you to view WMV files in Quicktime. There is also a browser plugin that lets WMV files play in Safari just like WMP9, only BETTER! And the player is now FREE. Strangely, Microsoft is even recommending it as a replacement for WMP9. It works perfectly on sites like CNN that use Windows Media Player for their video content and is compatible with more codecs than WMP9. Check out Microsoft's website for information and download.

    I highly recommend you download and install the Flip4Mac WMV Player. You can say goodbye and good riddance to WMP9.

  • How to render and save a file as windows media file or mp3?

    I have worked in Sony Vegas 9 and I was hoping Adobe Premier Pro CC was similar--- but its not. I can't figure out how to render and save a file as a windows media or mp3 or in any format for that matter.

    Search for exporting in the help file
    Not all for PProCC, but The PPro/Encore tutorial list in message #3 http://forums.adobe.com/message/2276578 may also help, with more help in message #5
    PS - rendering is the process of creating temporary files to aid in timeline playback, while exporting creates new files

  • Exporting my movie to Windows Media File

    I am trying to export a thirty second movie to a Windows Media file in Final Cut Express. However, every time I export it, it only does the first 14 seconds and I do not know why. My in and out points on the timeline are at the beginning and end of the 30 second clip. I have no other idea what could be causing the problem. Help!

    You are using a demo version of the Flip4Mac plugin which only exports half of your clip, up to a maximum of 30 seconds.
    To do the entire clip you will need to purchase the software.

  • 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.

  • Why won't Quicktime 7.4.1 play .wmv files when Windows Media Player will?

    I am running OS 10.4.11 on a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver 2002. When I try to play .wmv files, the following message appears: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." However, I can play such files using Windows Media Player. I have installed Quicktime 7.4.1. That hasn't helped.

    Thanks for the suggestions, but I already had Flip4Mac installed. However, I re-installed it, but I get the same disappointing message when I try to open .wmv files from Flip4Mac's "Quicktime Player." Perian doesn't work either. At http://lifehacker.com/software/quicktime/download-of-the-day-perian-mac-204423.p hp I read the following: Perian is a freeware plug-in designed to enable the playback of almost every popular video codec in Quicktime.
    In fact, pretty much the only major codec not supported by Perian is Windows Media Video files (WMV), but previously-mentioned Flip4Mac should take care of your WMV needs.
    I'd appreciate additional comments and suggestions.

  • Is there a way to move files from Windows Media player to Itunes?

  • How to play MOV files inside Windows Media Center Edition

    I've installed QT Pro, but am not able to play MOV files inside Windows Media Center Edition (MCE). Under "My Videos" from the MCE main interface, I can see the files, but once selected, error message indicates unknown/unplayable file type.
    How do I get my MOV files to play inside Windows MCE??

    I don't use MSI's MC application so I can't directly answer your question.
    However both Win DVD 6 and PowerDVD6 play them just fine by launching the ts.ifo file.
    Yes, I know that, but that means that I should use at least two applications. I need only one front end to launch all my media files, inluding ripped DVD files, not as separate VOBs but as whole movies decribed in IFO files.

  • Windows Media File error 2048

    Anyone know how to convert a Windows Media file to run on Quicktime? I get a message that say's Error 2048 and that it's not a movie file.... Thanks.

    Be aware that even if you get Apple's MPEG2 QuickTime Component, that if the file uses AC3 audio QuickTime Player will not be able to play the audio from that. Apple use the feeble excuse that this is because QuickTime does not support muxed video files (where the audio and video are mixed together). Normally QuickTime files keep the audio and video as separate streams in a single file.
    I regard this as a feeble excuse because a) it should have been fixed years ago, after all other software does not have this problem even WMP copes with this, and b) even when using QuickTime and Apple's MPEG2 component the free third-party tool MPEGStreamClip (for Windows or Mac) can play AC3 audio in these files. I repeat this tool uses the same QuickTime and Apple's MPEG2 component and yet it can play AC3 audio when Apple's own QuickTime Player cannot.

  • 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.
