WM in Compressor?

[Tom Matthies]

Encoding for Windows Media isn’t included with Quicktime. You need third party software to make WMV files. I use Flip 4 Mac Pro. Works well for the most part.

Tom,

My apologies in advance for stupidity.
I have Flip4Mac and when I click on the green button QT Player opens up at the top of the screen. It seems that everything is trying to go from WM to QT instead of the other way around.

If you have Compressor and Flip4Mac Export installed, then it’s here, in the inspector:

Call up a quicktime export preset, and change the file format to Quicktime Export Components. The rest is under the drop down menus and in Options you can set all the usual WMV parameters.

The Flip encoder is $50, the playback tool is free. The full featured product deal FlipStudio is $200, last time I looked, a year or more ago.

Ask your cleints wht they REALLY need. You can probably give them MP4 or H264 files that will opne in Flash. Silverlight offers additional playback compatibility.
