  WMC Encoding on Mac system

  Posted by Bonnfox on November 9, 2006 at 5:04 pm

  I have 2-minute-long pretty simple videos that need to be encoded to wmv format for web streaming. What’s the best way to encode for WMV on a Final Cut Pro system? Compressor or Cleaner or exporting as an avi and then encoding with the Windows Media Encoder? The streaming files shouldn’t be bigger than 6MB. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

  Thanks for the response. I figured I had to buy that program.

  And it will work right inside your QT apps, like Compressor, FCP, IMovie, QTPro, etc.

  The option of exporting a file first (preferably 10bit uncompressed) and then using a PC to encode will be much more efficient and give you many more options. That is, if going to a PC is an acceptable option for you. If not, then F4M is a fine choice.
