    I am asking a question that I wish I never had to ask. I need to compress to WMV. I would like to make a custom setting in compressor 4 that will be in a wmv. I have flip4mac studio but am unsure if it is possible to compress to wmv even with flip4mac studio.

    Is this possible and how is it done?

    Thanks

    Flip4Mac Studio should be what you use to encode WMVs on the OSX platform.

    I thought that flip4mac studio was a quicktime plugin. I can find an aplication flip4mac studio.

    It works in Compressor 4. I’ve already been doing it. I use Flip4Mac Studio Pro HD in Compressor (when I’m not using Episode). Flip4Mac Studio is a Quicktime plugin and Compressor 4 still access Quicktime components.

    In the Inspector set the file format to Quicktime Export Components and the encoder type to Windows Media.

    Yea that worked great, but can I have any more controle over the file? It is not letting me edit the bit rate and otehr information I can edit in quicktime formats.

    Flip4Mac Studio is presets only.
    Studio Pro gives you control of one pass settings.
    Studio Pro HD gives you two pass and HD frame sizes.
