Stuck while making .wmv

[Kc Allen]

Check your audio. I had a WMV file I was working with a while back and was absolutely dumbfounded when I couldn’t get it to work…don’t remember what I was trying to do with it, but I kept getting errors. I ended up checking everything and finally got to the audio and there was something wrong with it that was making the file choke. Re-do the audio for the piece, lay it in and see if that helps. Try to keep your audio at 48K if you can…you can always down-sample it later.

The problem with the audio is that F4Mac can not change the sampling rate of your audio.
So if you try to make a 44.1Khz WMV from a 48Khz .mov, our .wmv will have no audio.
You need to send a .mov with he same sampling of the one you want to get.

..and always a big mess on top of the table.

Recent versions of Flip4Mac don’t have the sample rate issue anymore. There does seem to be a bug when using 1 pass VBR encodes that cause the encode to hand forever. If you’re on version 2.2.0.49 and need to do a 1 pass VBR and get the hang, go back to 2.1.3.10.
