WMV video's

i am fairly new to macs and had a windows computer before. i produced a video using Windows movie maker so it is a WMV file is there any way that i can import it to iMovie or even view it on a mac?
My aim is to get it on my iPod but i have found iTunes is very stuborn with file types.
Any idea's?
Rory

ok so your saying that it is possible but when i choose to import the wmv video into iTunes and click choose it just does nothing... do i need to do anything special to it except from import?
Would you happen to be trying to drop/import your WMV files ti iTunes in a WMV container here? If so, simply place the WMV content into an MOV file container. (Use the "Save As..." file menu option in either QT Pro ($30) or MPEG Streamclip (free) to do this. BTW: GarageBand works the same way -- i.e., won't take the WMV file but will take the WMV content in an MOV file container with Flip4Mac installed-- while applications like iMovie '06 just go ahead and convert the WMV without forcing you to "jump through any hoops."
The "QT Structure" is just flying over my head im afraid.
Sorry if I confused you. QT used to be an independent "module" that could be installed and/or removed easily. Unfortunately, it is now totally integrated into the OS which makes it next to impossible to remove or revert to a previous version with creating problems for your whole system as some point or another. I tend to use the term "structure" to indicated the routines now imbedded within the OS as opposed to the previous independent modules or the components and/or plug-ins which remain "external" and more or less independent with respect to the OS.

    How do I import a wmv video from my PC to my Iphone 5S via Itunes?

    iTunes and the iPhone do not support WMV files. You will first have to convert the video to an MPEG4 or H.264 format video.
    Handbrake is free and should be able to do this, see https://handbrake.fr

  • How to import wmv video tracks in Premiere Pro CC on mac?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to import wmv video files in premiere without converting them before?
    I'm aware, that exporting is another topic, i'm only intrested in importing.
    I only found the information, that AME is able to import WMVs after installing Windows Media Player for Mac (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4031104), but is this also possible in the same way for Premiere Pro?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Were you ever able to find a solution for this? I am working on a project that has some .WMV files and trying to import them in Premiere Pro CC on a Mac. Thanks!

  • Embedding a WMV video in WebHelp

    I'm trying to embed a WMV video in a WebHelp project using RoboHelp 8. I can insert the video through Insert > Multimedia/Demo just fine, and it plays correctly. However it doesn't have the critically necessary controls for the media player. I did find the article entitled Creating and Customizing Online Documentation with RoboHelp, but like most RoboHelp documentation, it is so old (version X5!) and narrowly focused, that it is virtually worthless. It relies on TrueCode which, as nearly as i can tell, it long gone in RoboHelp 8. I've tried changing the <param name="ShowControls" value="0"  /> line in the HTML to a value of 1, but, true to form, RoboHelp 8 just promptly changes it back to 0. No matter how much I fight with it, I can't make RoboHelp leave the value at 1. (There are so many other circumstances where RoboHelp will not leave things the way I put them. Is there any way to get rid of this behavior?)
    Is there any way to make RoboHelp show the media player controls? I can't imagine why it wouldn't default to showing the controls since the media player is absolutely worthless without the controls. Or, do I have to completely forego using video within RoboHelp projects? If I do, I can gurantee you that i will forego RoboHelp altogether.

    Hi Willam
    I do dislike it when RoboHelp insists on changing my tweaks in WYSIWYG mode. But it's like a friendly old dog. You gotta love it slobber and all.
    One suggestion here would be to only edit pages containing the tweaks using something like Notepad. I think you already addressed that. What hasn't been mentioned to my knowledge, is that one has the ability to insert an inline frame to present content from another page. So my thought here was that one could use RoboHelp for managing all the content save the pages with the videos. And for those, you would present using inline frames.
    Cheers and happy Friday all! Rick

  • Problem playing some .wmv video clips in my C7..

    Hello dear friends;
    I just bought my new Nokia C7 mobile, everything is fantastic, i like this delightful device.. it has great many new features..  but i couldn't play some .wmv video clips.
    I'm just wondering if there is a good media player need to install in mobile for playing this kind of format video clips.
    thanks..     

    I don't know if CorePlayer has released a version for the C7 but this worked very good.
    Another option is to connect the phone to PC and use Windows Media Center or WMP11 or later to SYNC the video to the C7 this should convert the video before tranferring and may solve the problem.
    Otherwise you may need to convert the video from WMV to MPEG-4 or other format that's supported by the C7.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Import wmv video question

    hi
    Can anyone help. After I import wmv video into flash. Then
    select "stream from flash video streaming service". I export movie
    and create a swf file. Can the movie start from a pause instead of
    straight away play the flv file? If press the button play then play
    or else pause.
    thank

    the FLVPlayback component has an autoPlay property. Set this
    to false, and your movie will be paused on SWF load.

  • Top clipped when I import a wmv video.  Please Help.

    When I import a wmv video into premier elements 9 the top part of the video is clipped.  The video plays fine externally with windows player, and plays in premier but the top is clipped.  This happens for any video I try to import.  The video properties are as follows...798 w x 480 h, 25 frames/sec, 1858 kbps.  I definitely need help with this one, as I cannot even start a project.

    Announcement: Windows Update Causes Display to Be Blacked Out
    Hide Details
    MicroSoft has issued an Update for Windows, that is causing problems with Displays. The following is from Talbot McInnis, who tracked down this problem, and offers a fix:
    "MS bulliten MS13-057.  Specifically, on XP kb2834904 and on windows 7 kb2803821 is causing a problem
    For us, it occurs when decoding WMV9 files.  Not all uses of WMV decoding are affected, but I confirmed that when connecting the WMV decode DLL to a sample grabber for RGB32 video, the frames arrive black on top, so that points directly to decoding internals of the WMV Decode dll.
    You can uninstall these windows updates to resolve your problem."
    There are several threads on the problem that this Update is causing on the PrE and PrPro Forums, so one can get more details. So far, there is not another fix from either MS, or Adobe.
    Also, see this Adobe KB Article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/wmv-files-corrupted-import-or.h tml
    There have been many, many threads on the subject..lots of helpful hints on the matter of deleting the offending Windows Update kb. Major points that were offered include:
    a. for the present, set your Windows Updates so that you require notification for any downloading and installing of them.
    b. if you catch the offending Windows Update kb in Windows Updates Important Updates, then right click that kb and select Hide...that is supposed to block it from further activity.

  • Fast Forwarding  a WMV video

    Hi,
    I am reworking a project that initially had some quicktime
    videos in it. I have pause, play, stop, fastforward, and rewind
    button controls on the stage that control the sprite ( video) in
    frame 20 for instance.
    on mouseUp
    sprite (20).movieRate = 0
    end
    Intially I did the lingo on the buttons to control the
    movieRate which worked great for Quicktime video. However our
    company basically supports the Windows media player so I had to
    switch to using the WMV video. I have changed the code to work with
    this new format i,e.
    on mouseUp me
    sprite (20).stop()
    end
    Except, the client wants to be able to rewind and fastforward
    the video like they could with the Quicktime version. I could not
    figure out how to do that. The searches I've done don't tell me a
    whole lot.
    Can anyone help me with the code to make this possible or is
    it even possible?
    Thank you very much for any help you could give me.
    Kevin

    You should be able to get the WMV to playback back fast or
    slow, but probably not in reverse. The file format just isn't good
    for that.
    Personally I gave up on VTR style FWD & RWD a long time
    ago due to this kind of issue. You can still use the same buttons
    in your interface, but the video simply jumps fwd or back, usually
    in 10 sec increments

  • Flash or WMV video

    Hi experts,
    One question, couldn't find it through the search, but how can I embed a flash/wmv video files in the portal?
    We want to store those files in KM and we wont to select them through an iview. Can some one plz give me some pointers on this!!
    Thanks!

    Ramsaran,
    If you directly access a video file though URL iview then the file may open in a seperate window.
    You implement your requirement on this way too,
    Upload wmv file into portal. Create a hmtl which will embed the video file. Please your html accessible by portal. create an URL iview to access the html page.

  • Using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects - 6/23/14

    Very disappointed with this choice. I will definitely be seeking to uninstall this version and go back a version or two. Two many extra steps to export an mp4 now. And now we also have to wait longer for a mp4 to render and can't take advantage of the machine's hardware? You guys fighting mp4 as a standard, forcing us to an additional product, or what? I'll be sharing my extreme disappoint with this 'upgrade' with the rest of the developers at work and who just had it installed. I'm not seeing this being too popular opn social media either. Seems like you only did what was best for you.Thanks for showing us who's boss.

    Not necessarily. You can render an intermediate codec with AE's render queue (thus using all of AE's power to render) and then drop that file into the Adobe Media Encoder.
    This was the workflow I've always used - even when AE could encode with MP4. Why? Well, because AE sucked at MP4 encoding. You couldn't even do multipass endoding with it!
    This is a useful workflow in a few ways:
    1. You have an archive-quality file to come back to in the future.
    2. You can use AE's full power to render.
    3. You can use AME's superior encoding capabilities.
    4. You can tweak your compression settings and try various encoding parameters to improve the quality while decreasing the bitrate of your product WITHOUT having to re-render the AE comp every time you try since you're working off of the intermediate file. I mean, imagine a comp with several 3d layers, depth of field, shadows from multiple lights, and 250,000 particles from Particular. What if you made an MP4 and then the client needed a smaller file size or the MP4 you made was too heavily compressed and you needed higher quality? I don't know about you, but I'd much rather only render that 18-hour monster once.
    This workflow actually saves time for many people.
    And, in any workflow, this produces a better product.
    Again, this is what I did even when AE could encode MP4's.
    Frank VA wrote:

    They aren't fighting MP4 as a standard, in fact, when Adobe folks pop in here and answer questions, that's often their recommendation for delivery codec.
    Frank VA wrote:

    Listen, I understand your frustration. Knocking out a quick compressed file from AE for client review is handy.
    However, maintaining the h.264 encoding in AE took up development time. There are only so many person-hours per week for the (relatively tiny) AE team to spend on building each version of AE.
    I never liked AE's h.264 encoding - AME has always done a superior job. Since we have AME to do our encoding, I would rather the AE team focus their effort on improving AE as a compositing and motion graphics tool rather than as an encoding tool.
    Again, I get the frustration. I can see where it feels like they are doing what's good for them and not us, but I think, in the long run, this way is better for us. Right now, the majority of the AE team is working on making AE faster to work with and faster to render. The sooner we get a relatively bug-free version of that, the better! (Especially for folks on Mac OSX Yosemite who can't RAM preview smoothly in any version of AE).
    And at least the After Effects team has been very transparent about things - for example, this blog post talks about their reasoning: using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects

    WMV or Windows Media Video is not a natively supported video format on an iPad.
    You need to download an App that can play that video format.

  • Unable to play wmv videos on Nokia X6

    Hello All,
    I have Nokia X6 (S60V5) phone and I am trying to play wmv videos on it with no luck.Its Device details says that it can play wmv9
    Video Playback Formats    3GPP formats (H.263), Flash Video, H.264/AVC, MPEG-4, RealVideo 7,8, WMV 9
    I did encode a sample video with following config.
    Resolution:        480x360
    Video Bit rate   : 1024K
    Video Codec:     wmv3 (which is WMV9)
    Audio codec:      wmav3
    Sampling Rate: 44100
    Audio bitrate:     128K
    This configuration is not supprted on X6
    Could anyone tell me what should be the configuration of wmv file inorder to be played on Nokia X6?
    Thanks in advance,

    I usually use flv or mp4 as the container and encode to:
    Video:
    MPEG-4 Video (mp4v)
    640x360 resolution
    Approx 700 to 800 kbps bitrate
    29.9 fps framerate
    Audio:
    MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)
    stereo,
    Approx 128 kbps bitrate
    44.1 kHz sample rate
    Although the X6 is meant to be able to play H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC (Part 10) I find it fails to play any videos using this codec at resolutions of 640x360 at any decent bitrates and framerates which can be a real pain.
    I think the X6 can also playback MPEG-4 (Part 2) / H.263 but I don't normally use this particular standard.
    According to
    http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/X6-00/
    Compatible codecs are 3GPP formats (H.263), Flash Video, H.264/AVC, MPEG-4, RealVideo 7,8, WMV 9 with video playback frame rate of 30 fps.

    Do you have another program that can convert videos? Presenter's video conversion tool has always been a minimal application, and gives you little control over the settings and quality of the output.
    Video conversion tools were recently discussed here, and RDziuban ended up using Handbrake, which is free, to convert their videos to MP4. This remvoed the encoder in Presenter, and allows you to to have full control over the settings for the re-encoded video.

  • Can you add a WMV video to my ipad2, can you add a WMV video to my ipad

    I just wanted to know if you can add a WMV file to your ipad2.

    Your best choices are ProPlayer, AVPlayerHD (these two have exactly the same WMV decoder) or GoodPlayer. These all have different strengths and weaknesses explained in detail at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/playing-back-wmv-videos-%E2%80%93-complete-rou ndup
    Note that the article doesn't recommend Azul Media Player - Video player for your iPad for higher (more than SD) -resolution WMV3 content. Less-demanding WMV3 resolutions and WMV1/2 play just fine in Azul, though.
