.WMV files to Quicktime.
I have a client who has some pretty bad video on a .wmv file. They want to edit this. I have Discreet Cleaner 6 and that should theoritically be able to convert this WMV to a quicktime file that I can then “EDIT” in FInal cut. However I haven’t found the right combination inside Cleaner to make that conversion take place. Do any of you have other ideas about how to do that?

Richard,
I have converted WMVs to QTs in Episode. You might be able to do in Cleaner, but I don’t know the settings. You still will have to uprez it in all likelyhood, you can use Compressor for that.

Great. How do I locate Episode software? A quick search of the internet gave me no definitive results of anything that looked promising for the program you describe.

Richard,
Episode is terrific, but expensive. If you get Flip4Mac (the $99 Studio Pro version will do), from the same company BTW, you will be able to import, export, and convert WMV files from all QT apps including QT Pro, Comprssor, FCP, Motion etc. Its seamless.

You could use a cheap PC and Microsoft’s free WM Encoder application. It’s a gem.
You would convert the WMV to a DV format. it will come out of Encoder with .avi extension. That will pop right into FCP after you change the extension to .mov.Tedious but free and the results are amazingly good.
You want to get flip$mac anyway, though. For $50-100 it’s a great little tool to have at your disposal.
