Trying to convert to wmv using "share"

i'm trying to convert avi files in i movie to wmv using share.
I have limited success e.g have a 30 second clip which when converted using share comes out edited to 15 secs!
Anyone got any ideas?
If not any free avi to wmv converters around?
Thanks!

Hi John,
I've got to ask. Why are you bothering to convert to WMV? What's wrong with Quicktime? If your target computer is a Windoze PC you can install Quicktime on it.
iMovie is not a file converting program and does not like AVI at the best of times. Convert your AVI containers to either DV or MOV first then import them to iMovie if you must. However, you may find you lose the audio when you convert the AVI files depending on how they were created. If so, you may need a more advanced converter like Visual Hub, but it's not free. It costs $25 (US). I have it and it rocks!
Here's a link to a free converter 'ffmpegX'.

You can aslo try Mpeg Streamclip, but I don't know if it will convert to WMV.

  • Newbie trying to convert this to use numbers from excel

    I am fairly new at this and have not worked with numbers at all but the problem I have is that I do not have Excel on all my Mac's and this needs to work with Numbers.
    it is a basic copy and paste based on a particular tab in Safari and another in numbers
    ie.. i want to copy content from a specific safaritab()  to a specific tab in numbers by name.. this works perfectly with using excel (took forever for me to piece together) but I am struggling to convert to use in numbers instead.  any help would be most appreciated.
    this is the working code for using excel that i wish to convert to use numbers instead.
    #Code begin
    tell application "Safari" to launch
    tell application "Safari" to activate
    useSafariTab(3)
    copyDataB()
    tell application "Microsoft Excel"
    activate
    activate object workbook "SpreadSheetA"
    activate object sheet "DesiredTabName"
    clear range range "A:Z"
    select cell "a2"
    end tell
    pasteDataA()
    on useSafariTab(a)
    tell application "Safari"
    set thisTab to tab a of window 1
    set current tab of window 1 to thisTab
    delay 1
    end tell
    end useSafariTab
    on copyDataB()
    tell application "System Events"
    delay 1
    keystroke "a" using {command down}
    delay 3
    keystroke "c" using {command down}
    delay 5
    end tell
    end copyDataB
    on pasteDataA()
    tell application "Microsoft Excel"
    activate
    activate object workbook "SpreadSheetA"
    delay 2
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "v" using {command down}
    delay 5
    end tell
    end pasteDataA
    #Code end

    In Numbers the hierarchy is document, sheet, table, range whereas in Excel the table isn't required.  So for pasteDataA() try this:
    on pasteDataA()
      tell application "Numbers"
      tell document "SpreadSheetA.numbers"
      tell sheet "DesiredTabName"
      tell table 1 -- or table name if you have one
      set selection range to cell 2 of column 1
      delay 2
      end tell
      end tell
      end tell
      end tell
      tell application "Numbers"
      activate
      tell application "System Events"
      keystroke "v" using {command down}
      delay 2
      end tell
      end tell
    end pasteDataA
    I didn't clear the range first but assume you will be able to work that out. Remember you need to specify the table when you do that.
    SG
    P.S. Note use of the .numbers suffix when specifying the document, if named.  Otherwise you can use document 1 or front document.

  • Problem when trying to convert using PDFG

    Hi,
    I'm trying to convert come files using PDFG. I tried the user console, the email account and the WebService API. None of this options worked.
    I can see in the log file that JBOSS is launched successfully, with every BMC being started without any error. The only problem that i have is taht QuartzService error but the Adobe support already told me that this was not a problem.
    When trying to submit a document for conversion, the log files registered the errors below. does anyone has some clue on this problem ?
    TIA,

  • E mails using share in 11

    I am trying to send a photo using Share and Email but I get to a final point and I am asked for a for verification how do I get this help if you can

    I’ve found it usually works best with web mail via Adobe after obtaining verification. I know some email services block bulk email completely and I’ve only tested it with Gmail which works fine. Should also work with other web mail e.g. Yahoo and Hotmail. Give it a try. Before you start it will help to check your internet security settings. If they are set to High, reduce the settings to Medium temporarily. Then follow these instructions.
    1. Log in to your mail provider on the web and add the following email to your address/contacts book.
    [email protected]
    2. Open Organizer and on the menu click:
    Edit >> Preferences >> Sharing
    3. Choose Adobe Email Service from the client dropdown menu.
    4. Add your name and email address to the fields provided and click OK
    5. Test the system (first use only)  by selecting a photo in organizer and choosing Share >> Photo Mail then click Next (Mac users should use attachments)
    6. Choose a contact then click  Next
    7. Click Next Step, then click Next - the sender verification dialog will open.
    8. Check you have spelt your email address correctly and hit the Resend E-Mail button.
    9. Go to your inbox (also check spam) and when the Adobe mailer message is received copy (Ctrl+C) the long verification code.
    10. Return to the verification dialog and paste it (Ctrl+V) into the Sender verification field and click OK. Wait for validation confirmation then click OK to continue

  • Using my PC Desktop I am trying to convert a PDF file to excel.  When the data is imported to Excel the majority of the data is vertical in the far left colum.

    I am trying to import a PDF file from my desktop PC in to Excel using XI Pro.  When the data imports in to excel, the majority of the data is vertical along the far left comumn instead of horizonal along the colums such as name, address, etc.   I need to be able to import the data in to the horizonal categories so I can categorize the data after it is in excel.  Thanks.

    Hi johnc,
    I'm sorry to hear that your file didn't convert well for you. Can you please tell me more about the PDF that you're trying to convert? Do you know how it was created? The quality of a conversion depends on the quality of the PDF, and it sounds like the file you have may not include the tagging information that is required to convert that properly into an Excel file. Would you be willing to share that file with me? If so, let me know and I'll send you a private message with my contact details.
    Best,
    Sara

    Hey quantum info,
    Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
    Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
    How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
    Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page"  option in Acrobat.
    Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
    Hope to hear from you.

    Well, turbo.264 is indeed very nice to have - even for converting full-sized movies. (Nevertheless, TechRadar's latest roundup (see http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/6-of-the-best-video-converte rs-for-mac-1074303 ; also linked from another roundup at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps ) has shown it's still worse than HandBrake in most respects.)
    All H.264 files (assuming they are H.264 level 4.1 or lower) are compatible with the built-in Videos app.

    Those of you who use other players, what do you reccomend? Just curious.
    It entirely depends on your needs. The top players (AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer, It's Playing, GoodPlayer) all have different strengths and weaknesses. I myself use It's Playing the most as I convert everything into MP4 and simply love the DSP's (brightness / volume / saturation boosting). (Its software decoders are definitely worse than those of AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer; however, MP4's are played back from hardware.)

    Hi Jenna,
    The error your getting suggests a file path problem.
    How are you embedding the movie in PP and where is the movie file located relative to the PP file? Are you getting this error within PP when the slide containing the embedded video is displayed?
    If you embed a movie and then move it or change its name then PP will generate this error.

    Hi Michelle ,
    We are extremely sorry that you have had a bad experience with Adobe .
    As far as your issue is concerned ,Acrobat generally prompts for internet connection as it is required to activate the product before you could use it comfortably .Once the product is activated or licensed you would be able to use the software offline .
    This could be the possible reason you are experiencing this .Please check if you have done so and still facing this .And if you have not ,you need to license/activate your product by typing in your credentials ,i.e Adobe ID and password .
    You could also refer the following link to get updated about the activation of your product .
