When i export a video in windows media format is shorter than the original

I tried a lot of time, using Quicktime 7.3.1, to convert a .mov video to a Windows Media .wmv video using the default settings but the result is shorter than original, my original video is 4 minutes, the exported just 30 seconds.
Maybe is my fault, something wrong in my laptop or a Quicktime bug?
I hope someone can help me
Thanks, Marco.

You have the trail of Flip-4-Mac. You need to buy the full version to be able to convert to WVM.

There's no way around this, sorry.

Imported video files are 7-8 times larger than the original!!!

I really like iMovie but the thing is iMovie imports my video files (taken in my AVCHD Sony Handycam HDR-CX11E) with an approximatly 7 times larger file size than the original file size of the movie. And still I have chosen the option "Large - 960 x 540". I really don't know if there is any solution to this "problem". I would be thankful for anyone who could give me a solution.
Regards

The best way to find out is to try it. Take a small but representative sample, do some edits, export as H264, then reimport, do some edits, export again.
I expect some degradation, but here mostly the problem may be the quality (or lack thereof) of the analog originals.
Also, let me clarify: QT movie per se means nothing in terms of quality or compression. The QT is a container format. Inside it can be a high quality, high bitrate ProRes 4444 or a highly compressed H264, or a number of other things.
In FCP X, when you export a Master File, you get to decide in the settings which codec to use (e.g. Prores vs H264), but the output file will still be a QT file.

Export FCP 4.0 video to Windows Media format

i have a 17 minute video,
i have exported for streaming web content, or downloadable content, using quicktime, and on my mac and pc, with quicktime player i can view it bot on the mac and pc
my question is, for those pc users who do not use quicktime
and have windows media player, how do i create a wmv file that can be seen using windows media player?
my research indicates that w. media player can play AVI file, so i exported my FCP clips using AVI, but the file is 300 mb, much larger than the QT file i created, 30 mb or so
any suggestions, on how to create a windows media player
file aroung 30 mb or so?

Exported mp4 or flv has much smaller frame size than the original

Not sure if I started the project the wrong way or if I'm doing something wrong when I export.
My imported file is an mp4 29.87 fps 44,100Hz 16 bit stereo.
480x360
When I export it as an flv or mp4 the image is about the size of a postage stamp surrounded by a huge black border.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I'd rather export and flv.
Martin
P.S. I'd like the exported size to be around 390x214 or something a tad smaller than 400 wide.

Thank you Hunt for your reply.
I was an editor for 30 years (Michael Redbourn) and did some editing on Premiere a few years back for a client, but somebody set up the pre-sets and did the export for me, so as is obvious I know next to nothing about how to do either.
What is your Sequence Preset? Does it match that Source Footage?
I didn't see any preset that matched 44,100 hz
How can I check to see what my sequence preset is?
In those Export formats, what are the Presets used?
What are the settings for the Frame Size options?
In those formats, if you chose, say a DV Preset, and did not do cropping, you would get what you describe.
I tried several and certainly one of them was a DV preset, and I didn't crop.
The answers to the above questions should give others something to work with, and likely get you a solution to the issue.
I'm really just experimenting with a short sequence and to reedit it will be really simple, so if you could tell me which presets and export settings to use, I will redo the project and learn a lot at the same time.
Original clip is an mp4 29.87 fps 44,100Hz 16 bit stereo 480x360
I'd like the exported size to be around 390x214 (preferable .flv) or something a tad smaller than 400 wide.
Thanks again,
Michael

Why is the length of my FCP imported video shorter than the original QuickTime version?

When I open my .mov file in QuickTime, it is 15:33. However, when I import it into FinalCut, it is only 14:09. Is this a frame rate issue? How do I fix it? Thanks for any help...sorry if this is a silly question.

What is the format of this Quicktime file? FCP doesn't just work with any old QT file. It must be in an FCP editing codec, like ProRes or DV/NTSC. Dropping in H.264 or other highly compressed codec can lead to all sorts of issues. If it isn't ProRes, convert to ProRes first.

How do I "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format in After Effects

I was informed that I needed to use After Effects to "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format.
I have the movie clip in composition, I see the effects and presets drop box on the lower right.
How do I insert the text blocks to mask certain areas of the movie clip?
Thank you,
Preston

Export from iMovie to Windows Media .wmv

I have recorded some video with my camcorder. I successfully got the video from my camcorder into my G5 with iMovie. I edited it in iMovie and then chose the "Share" function to covert it to Windows Media (.wmv). iMovie will only conver the first two seconds of the video and then quit. I also have Quicktime Pro and have tried to "Share" the video output as a Quicktime Movie, which works perfectly, then tried to "Export" the movie from .mov to .wmv. Again, the finished .wmv is only two seconds long.
Why won't Quicktime Pro export to Windows Media format (.wmv) for only two seconds? Anyone else have this problem?
Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Thanks for the reply. I didn't realize that when I installed the free Flip4Mac plug in that it added the .WMV export function....but it only let's you export two seconds of video.
I just paid the $49 bucks to Flip4Mac to get it to work...and it now works. It would have been nice if Filp4Mac had somehow let me know that I had to upgrade to get that function....it was very frustrating trying to get this to work!

Opening a video in Windows Media Player

How do you open a video in Windows Media Player?
The video I'm trying to open in Windows Media Player is an
avi file.
I noticed that in the Authorware 7 book, it says to simply
add a
wmp after "avi". For ex: myvideo.avi.wmp
It then says to place or import that file onto Authorware
(the flowline).
However when I play it to view, it does not open in Windows
Media
Player. Can someone help me with this problem?
Thank you.

Yes it did. Thanx Erik. Appreciate it.

times, that is
ONLY for playing the movie INside Authorware.
If you want to play a movie OUTside Authorware, you use the
JumpOUTReturn function, NOT the JumpFILEReturn function.
Your folder setup is good.
So with that folder setup, assuming 'myvideo.avi' is in the
same folder
as your Authorware file, just do:
JumpOutReturn("", FileLocation^"myvideo.avi")
That work for you?

QuickTime Pro 7.0 takes forever to convert video from Windows Media to Ipod

Hi,
I just got a new IPOD Video 60GB and to tell you the truth, i'm not one bit impressed with this product; to give you my honest opinion, i'm disappointed in the purchase and would not recommend this to anyone unless someone can provide me with a solution to the problem.
Simply put, i'm trying to get some video clips on my new IPOD and i can't. I tunes won't let me for some reason, i do not know. I can get music fine, have not tried photos's as yet.
Anyway, the problem is, whenever I try to convert using Quick Time Pro 7.0 from WMV (Windows Media Format) to IPOD format (MPEG4), it takes extremly long. I mean seriously outragesly long. To give you an idea, I started a conversion of a 68MB file at 5:25PM, it is now 6:24PM and it's only completed about 45% of the file.
Is Apple insane??? who is going to wait 2-4 hrs to convert 1 simple video clip? I need to find an alternative solution otherwise i'm going to complain to Apple, and if i don't get my resolution to this problem fast, I will complain to the Better Business Bureau in Canada about this. This is such a scam. Why do i have to buy Quick Time Pro 7.0 just so i can upload video? I should be able to do this through windows directly.
Anyone that can help please let me know.
If i don't find something by the end of the year, you can be sure that Apple will be hearing from me in one form or another about this purchase. I spent over $600 on the company on a product that should be simpler to use than this.

QuickTime Pro does not play .wmv files. It doesn't export them without some other third party software.
Try reading the steps and supported file formats before your complain about what it does, or doesn't, do.

Problem in stretching video using windows media player control

Hello
I am using windows media player 9 and set the stretchtofit property to true.But when I play a video of size 256X192 on a window media control player whose width and height is set to 640 and 384 respectively I find black areas on left and right side of video.My system has windows 2000 and is set to 1280X720 resolution.I am using labview 7.0.
If anybody encountered the same problem or any suggestion please help to solve the problem.
Veena

Are you sure that this property means that the image is "stretched"? It might mean that if the video size is X and the control's size is 2X, the picture will be stretched to fit the control without losing the aspect ratio. I know that the regular WMP does not stretch images. You can easily test this by playing a file smaller than the control and setting the property to F. You can also search google\Microsoft for the WMP SDK.

Uploading a video in Windows Media Player format HELP

I just used the Insert:Media:Plugin to upload a video in .wav format and when I look at it on the web, it just says "ng PL" and nowhere does it play. What am I doing wrong? I did 'put' it onto the server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

First, the wav format is an audio format not a Windows media format. Thus the computer can decide what to do with it. Either iTunes or WMP or any other media player could pick up the file.
Second, wav files are typically uncompressed. Thus you are making your users download a file that is larger than they need to be download if it were to be encoded as MP3 or AAC, both of which are more optimized for web streaming and/or distribution.
Then what you need to look at is a Flash player or if HTML5 is an option, the audio tag, to embed the audio file onto your website.

Exporting in windows media format - only get 30 seconds!

I am trying to export a HDV film into windows media format for my client. They want the film to be 320 x 180, in windows media format and under 10mb, for use on their website.
The film is 3 1/2 minutes long, but when I try and export using quicktime conversion and then select windows media. I have tried fiddling with some of the settings but it keeps just doing 30 seconds of the film. What am I doing wrong? What settings should I be using?
Please help me,
Thank you,
Tom

IMO, Flip4Mac Studio is a much better product than Visual Hub. Both cost money, but better feature set within F4M. As you experienced, you can only get 1/2 the duration of exports, up to a limit of 30 seconds, in trial mode.
If you want the studio version, go to your WMV preferences and click on the upgrade tab.

I am using the old imovie HD on my old Mac laptop... it works fine, but when I export a video to YouTube there is a black frame around it.. how do i get rid of that? thanks!

Hi MyAppleID99,
You may want to check to make sure the clip hasn't been moved back and forth between wide screen and standard aspect ratios; sometimes a combination of letterboxing and pillarboxing can lead to a black frame "windowbox" when playing the final video. You may find the following article helpful:
