I know…I know…WMV
I have to output a wmv file for a client and I’m having trouble doing so. I tried using mpeg streamclip, but it will only encode the first 30 seconds when I try to export to a WMV file. Does anybody ever have to export to this terrible file type and have any suggestions as to how I’d do so?

You have to purchase the full version of Flip4Mac not the trial version.
All the best,

Or try Visual Hub. It’s cheap, fast and can compress to almost any format.

Interesting product, VisualHub. But its User Guide says the WMV it makes is WM V8. Can you make WMV with VisualHub without having the Flip4Mac plug-in on your computer?

I don’t think you need flip4mac. At least not the full version.
I’m not sure what version of wmv it creates though. -
I spose you can open one of the wmv’s in Windows and see what the properties say. Or Quicktime on a Mac with Flip4Mac. That entry in the user guide would put me off if it’s up to date. WM-8 was good, but WM-9 is better. Truth be told, I have not had great success with Windows Media encoding on the Mac at all. If I want good results, I still go to Squeeze or the Windows Media Encoder on a Windows machine. Sad but true.

Sorenson Squeeze 4.5 works fine I use it all of the time. Also works for Flash.

I just checked the properties of a wmv file created with visual hub. It says windows media audio: v9 and windows media video: v8.
