    Hi,
    Today I got a order to compress a wpg file. Do anyone know what software you use to compress wpgs?
    The source file is a uncompressed SD QT and I use a Maco Pro with osx 10.5.8.
    I have final cut studio and Telestream episode as compression tools.

    WPG is a Word Perfect Graphic file AFAIK.

    What the heck are they doing?

    After googling it I got more confused. 256 colors, vectors … Huh?!!
    I just recieved a mail that said that there were a typ-o. They probably meant wmv or something. They scared me for a while ….
    Thanks anyway!

    If it’s WMV you’ll likely need Flip4Mac Player Pro (or Studio series which includes the Player Pro features) to encode a WMV to another format.

    Ideally they should give you the source file rather than the WMV. It’s never good to compress an already heavily compressed file.

    It was wmv they wanted, and I have flip4mac (hd vers) since before so it all worked out fine.
    Thanks for the quick replies!
