converting to WMV on a mac. Is it possible????

[cousinavi7]

Hey Guys,

I'm in a bit of a bind and would love to hear other's thoughts. I have a client that needs footage tomorrow and they are asking for Windows Media files. (why I'll never know).

I've exported to MPEG-2 using compressor. I've downloaded trial versions of numerous software programs online (autodesk cleaner 6.5, flip 4 mac) and haven't been able to get one to work.

Has anyone actually used these programs on a mac? (theres plenty of converters for PC based OS, which I am not. How convenient!!)

Thanks you guys

WMV is much better on pc - there is an option to convert in compressor - try that.

Pretty sure Prairieboy is right, flip4mac is the way to go. I don't think there is any other way to get hq wmv files out of Mac. I don't think Compressor does it, and wmp for mac isn't going to do it either.

Good Luck.

I use Flip for Mac AND qucktime pro... you may need QT Pro to make 'er work. And you'll need the "pay-for" version of flip-4-mac, not the freebie.
