I’m pretty sure that those camera specific codecs are only on FCP installed systems as well. The easiest thing to do would be to simply re-export your project using the Animation codec. This is a lossless codec so the quality will be the same.
The easiest way to do this is to duplicate your edited sequence in FCP, and in Sequence Settings change the compressor to Animation. Leave everything else the same. If you want to view this sequence in realtime, you’ll need to render it first. Or you can just go ahead and export it, as Quicktime Movie > Current Settings.
This file should work fine on the pc in AE.

Effect > Simulation > Wave World.

Change the View to Height Map and do a RAM Preview.

That’s probably what you want, but you’ll need to tweak.

See the manual for tweaking details, or find a Wave Warp tutorial online.

What codec are your video files in? If they are in ProRes then you’ll have to export them as something else. ProRes is only readable on systems with FCS 2 installed.

Studio Techniques also has a tutorial on how to roll your own lightwrap.

Sounds to me like cornerpinning frame by frame is the only solution here. It doesn’t sound like the tv has any trackable features.
This is something that should have been planned for before shooting. Tracking points would have helped some, but once the tv reaches a certain perspective, the markers would no longer help, and you would be back to hand-positioning frame by frame.
The best way to do this effect – in a 3d program with a model of the tv.

Do you know how to use edge & core/holdout mattes? You’re not going to get a decent key with only one instance of the effect.
One instance gives you a soft edge that can catch the motion blur, but will make the interior of your matte semi-transparent. The second instance on a second layer gives you a solid center but crunchy edges. You combine the two for an optimal key.
Take a look at AE Studio Techniques by Mark Christiansen for detailed tutorials.

Sorry, I didn’t notice where he said what version he’s on.
But yea, it’s on the installation disk.

It’s already in AE.
Effects > Perspective > CC Sphere is exactly what you want.
You need a seamless, wraparound globe image to apply it to.

A high shutter rate reduces motion blur, but for slow motion you need a high frame rate. When you go to 50% speed, you’re repeating frames which makes for jerky motion.
You need to generate new, interpolated frames. For that use Effects > Time > Timewarp, and use Method=Pixel Motion.
The manual has more info about the rest of the settings.
