  mov to wmv

  Posted by Andy Mccarthy on August 23, 2005 at 12:38 am

  I would like to have my projects viewed in Windows Media Player but have found no option for wmv in FCP or Quicktime. Is there a way of converting mov files to wmv?
  thanks

  Yeah, there is a way, but not with FCP.. you’ll need either filp4Mac, Cleaner, or Sorenson’s Squeeze for the job. There are other windows media player compatible formats though, a large sized MPEG-1 file works OK… just not too small or it looks pretty bad.

  You can’t do it withing QT Pro you need to use third party software…like Media Cleaner or try this software – I have it and it works very well…..https://www.flip4mac.com/news.htm

  Popwire Compression Master is also an option. It is a full encoding suite app like Compressor or Squeeze. The Flip4Mac plugin can be integrated with Compressor 2 or Squeeze 4.1, and works pretty well. But, the only version of F4M I would consider purchasing is the 2-pass version ($179). F4M sells a single-pass version for $99, but Popwire also makes a single-pass Windows Media QT plugin encoder for $29 that offers nearly identical features at a much more attractive price.
