WMV movie files in email- How to watch on iphone?

I get lots of emails on iphone with movie attachments wmv, etc. is it possible to watch these on the phone with an application from app. store??

There is no support for WMV files for the iPhone. Now a player could be written I guess that can play them but that player would be limited to it's own data (eg: cannot be spawned from email message since no app can work as a plug in as part of the rules of the SDK).

  • Does iWeb support .wmv movie files?

    Ok guys i'm fairly new to the iWeb.
    I have a basic qustion that I dont seem to be able to find the answer for on any help links within the application or Quicktime for that matter as it always revert you back to saving you movie files as QuickTime .mov files.
    Is there a way you can import .wmv movie files so that our friendly PC user's can view without having to download QuickTime for PC.
    Thanks for youe help.
    Neil

    iWeb writes page code that calls the QuickTime browser plug-in.
    QuickTime on a PC can't open WMP formats.
    All you can do is use "link to file" to upload your .wmv file.

  • How do I send a large movie file via email?

    Hi - I've been reading through the manuals about how to stream movies to be accessible to friends.
    Is there a way that I can post a short movie that I've created so that a friend overseas can have it stream onto her computer. I have created a number of versions using Quicktime Pro with the last using quicktime to save as a self-contained movie and an exported file using Movie to Hinter movie settings. I now have a quicktime movie of dimensions 960x540 and 168.6 MB. Is there any way that I can send this somehow to a friend's email address?

    Here's one way to make it available online. This assumes however you have ftp access to a server and web site and your friend has a Mac with Safari.
    1: Create a page with the Quicktime movie linked and upload the page and movie file to your server.
    The web page address might look like this: http://www.websitename.com/moviename.mov
    2: Email your friend with a link to the page.
    3: If the receiver has Safari, they should click on the link to launch the web page, then go to the Menu bar > Window > Activity.
    4: In the Activity window, a link will appear with the movie file.
    5: Select that link, copy it, open the Downloads window, paste the link into the Downloads Window.
    The file will download to your friend's computer. All this however does assume your friend has the luxury of being on a Mac.
    Tip: Export the file using Quicktime Pro's settings for Web first to make the video's file size smaller.

  • Missing .wmv .movie files on conversion to Mac

    I recently upgraded to a mac OSX 10.8.4 and have loaded Photoshop Elements 10.  I am trying to find a number of movie files that are .wmv files.
    There are about 10 files in all.  I have them all saved in a folder MacintoshHD/Users/saved files.  About 5 came across successfully to PSE10.  When I try to reconnect to them through PSE it won't let me.
    In Finder the files appear there and will play (I have installed flipfinder).  If I try to add the files to PSE when I get to the file structure they are all greyed out.  Why is this?  They can't be 'missing' as they are playable and 5 of them came across.  Just can't understand why it has only happened to some files.
    I would appreciate any help you can give me.

  • Problem converting WMV movie file to format Adobe After Effects can read...

    Need HELP...
    Trying to convert a windows WMV movie clip so that Adobe After Effects can read, as the Mac OSX version of After Effects does not like WMV.
    Any help appreciated.
    Max

    i'm with the Captain's answer, Flip4Mac's Windows Media Components will allow you to work with the files directly in AE or other QT compliant application
    but whilst the free player version will allow you to view the files, you'll need to pony up for at least the Player Pro version if you intend to transcode to another format (otherwise the copy will have a Flip4Mac watermark)

  • My movie file is "corrupt", how can I redownload it?

    So I downloaded a movie and it was downloading but then it suddenly stopped and said that there is an error and that my movie file is corrupt. It then told me to go to the "Check for downloads" in the iTunes menu but I cannot find that and when I try to simply redownload it, it doesn't allow me to. I don't want to have to buy the movie again. Any help?

    Yes Check for updates is in the Store menu at the top.
    If this does not work. go  into the itunes store click on Purchased under quick Links.It should show all you have purchased. Find your movie and click on the cloud with the downward arrow. You should incur no extra charge

  • Help- Importing DV movie file into FCP how do I change my FCP settings

    I am importing 5 different dv movie files that are approx 114.1mb each into Final Cut Pro. I opened a new project.. imported the files. Now I want to start putting together my sequence, but I need to change some settings, and I don't know where to start.
    When I go to insert the portion of one of the files into the sequence I get a popup saying
    "Attention- This clip does not match the sequence's settings or any of your sequence presets.
    For best performance your sequence and External Video should be set to the format of the clips you are editing.
    Change sequence settings to match the clip settings?"
    (No) (Yes)
    I obviously need to select yes.. but then i'm not sure what to choose after that.
    Could someone guide me please?
    Thank you

    They are .dv (person who sent them to me used imovie to upload their video they shot)
    So I need to open them in compressor and find the preset to convert them to dv quicktimes.
    Once they are dv quicktimes and I import them into my new project. Should I be good to go?
    Sorry for the novice questions... I do appreciate your help.

  • Video Files as email attachments - what formats on iPhone 3Gs ?

    Hi
    This may turn out to be a dumb newbie quesiton but what format video files can I play when sent as email attachments?
    WMV shows as an attachment with the Qucktime icon but can't download/play
    MPG allows you to launch but then says "Movie format is not supported"
    Do I need to install a specific player app or is there a setting somewhere that I need to make?... or is this not possible (seems unlikely)
    Plays vids on YouTube etc no problem.
    Thanks!

  • HT1364 How do you convert iTunes movie files so that you can watch them on Windows Media Player?

    Hello. For school, I am supposed to make a video mash-up from a movie. I bought the movie I needed, but now I can't open it in Windows Movie Maker to edit it.

    Oh well then, thanks anyways! I guess I'll have to find something else to do.
    Do you have any idea how people get movie clips for their videos on YouTube?

  • Black screen between every clip that does not appear on timeline, only on MOV file

    Hello
    I originially had this issue  https://discussions.apple.com/message/17086997#17086997
    I have now fixed the letterboxing issue but now have this problem (I did not have this issue before) where I get a very short black screen between each clip I put on the timeline. The black screen does not show up on the timeline, it only appears once I create the file. I'm not sure if this is affected but the fact I have an external hard drive. All my footage is stored on the hard drive and i save my Final Cut Pro file on the hard drive then upload it to YouTube. I made 2 quick short MOV files to test this theory (one made from footage on my EHD and the other from footage from my desk top) neither files had the black screen in the MOV files.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI27LlWTdXE
    These links are to my latest video I uploaded which shows the blacks clips, it's not terrible to have them but it's very annoying.
    Thank you in advance for your help and Merry Christmas

    Hello Nick, thanks for the answer.
    I have fully lengthened my timeline and the black gaps are not there to delete (they only appear once the file has been exported).
    The issue I have (I think) is that im not sure what export settings I am meant to choose to export the footage.
    My camera records in widescreen so when I place my footage onto the time line and final cut pro automatically selects the correct settings for me, this is what is chooses
    This is then the export settings that are automatically in the box when I go to export
    As my footage is 1920 x 1080 I would expect to be given an option with that in but these are the only options available
    I am not sure if this should create the black spaces between each shot.

  • Lost ability to play .mov files in Mountain Lion orginally saved in Lion or earlier

    I'm hoping someone can provide an explanation for this one. I've edited many .mov files using QT7pro under OS 10.7 and earlier and have always saved these files as .mov files. I recently updated a 2008 unibody MacBook with a new SSD and a new install of 10.8 and I'm getting the dreaded codec error messages while attempting to open these files on that computer. I've been doing this for so long without any problems, that I haven't a clue as to what codec could be creating the issues. This is even more infuriating when many of the original files that I brought into QT7pro on my other macs were QT .mov files. So, how can a original QT file, saved on another mac and edited and then saved in QT now be broken in Mountain Lion? Thanks for any help you can offer.
    Mark

    thanks very much for your reply Kurt, that news is quite a relief. As you can probably tell, i'm about to re-build my system from scratch, reformatting my drive. I'm currently at the point of researching do's and don'ts and i should add i very much liked your article on font management!
    Best wishes, Richard

  • Can't play .mov file!!

    hello,
    i'm having some trouble playing .mov-files.. I can watch trailers on apple.com but when I have a mov-file on the pc, it opens with a flashy green screen and pressing play will only give my a static (mostly green) and no noise.. this goes also for iTunes, movies there i cannot open but i can watch them on my ipod..
    anybody any ideas?
    thanks

    What codec is this HD file? If they shot and captured in the Sony XDCAM EX format, FCP 5.1.4 won't be able to see that. The XDCAM EX support comes only with FCP 6.0.3.
