anonymous Guest | (I presume you mean you want to convert a QuickTime file (extension .mov or .qt) into a Windows Media file (extension .asf or .wmv))
1. You should check the QuickTime file’s codec. Open the file in QuickTime, click movie, then choose 'get movie properties'. On the left drop-down menu choose video track. On the right drop-down menu choose format. The codec is listed on the 'data format' line. If it’s a cross-platform codec like Indeo or Cinepak (meaning it can be in either a QuickTime or avi container) then go to step 3. If it’s a QuickTime-only codec (like Sorenson or 'video'), then go to step 2.
2. If it’s a QuickTime-only codec the conversion has to be in two steps. You have to convert it to an avi first, then you can convert it to Windows Media. Your two options are to use QuickTime Pro ($30 from Apple) or Rad Video Tools (free). From some of the posts on the board, it appears Rad sometimes has glitches converting audio; if that happens to you then just get QuickTime Pro. When doing your conversion to avi, I advise choosing a lossless codec or no compression, so that there is no loss in quality. (The avi file may be big though).
3. If you’re from step 1, just feed the QuickTime file into Windows Media Encoder; if you’re from step 2, feed the intermediate avi into Windows Media Encoder. Then just encode! If you have Windows XP you can substitute Windows Media Encoder with Windows Movie Maker, but you won’t get as many options.
Links:
QuickTime Pro: http://www.apple.com/quicktime
RAD Video Tools: http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm
Windows Media Encoder: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/encoder/default.aspx
Notes:
For those who like to tinker with things you could convert to MPEG-1 instead of avi using TMPGENC from http://www.tmpgenc.net and the QuickTime plugin from http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/4942/svcd.html
Then step 3 would be the same.
Also if you want to play with older asf/wmv codecs you can get Windows Media Encoder 7 at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e0ab51dc-e509-4bc2-ae47-507856f9ddc3&displaylang=en
or the older Netshow Tools (google for nstools.exe - Microsoft doesn’t carry it on their site anymore)

That’s what you’d do if you had QuickTime Pro, and it’s indeed very easy. Regular QuickTime doesn’t allow you to do any editing (the export and many other functions do not appear in the menus)

You start bink, then you’ll a menu to select a file. Don’t double click the file! Just click it once to highlight. Then click convert. Then you have a popup and you can follow the instructions from there. Note: Remember you have to convert to avi first. You can’t convert the Windows Media immediately. Then you have to use Windows Media Encoder or Movie Maker to encode the avi to wmv.

Laur Guest | I found this while doing a Google search. I have the same question as the last poster: how do I go about converting a WMV. into a MOV.?
Thanks for any feedback.

dUFE Guest | Haha, Same question as above. Im working on a rough cut of a video for some music Im working on, and Im being sent nice video files, tho they are all .wmv and I want to convert them as any readable quicktime format, so I can export them from quicktime pro in the format that imovie reads (which I already understand how to do).
I’ve searched around abit, found nada. Aside from this thread at least 
Thanks!

michael at PVS Guest | Same as above, I have Final Cut Pro HD and Compressor, and I am a professional video editor. I constantly have people give me dubious .wmv files and want them on a DVD. I bet most people on this forum are PC users, but if anyone knows how to convert .wmv to .mov, .avi, any mpeg format (Compressor crunches everything but .wmv) or anything that is not Windows-media specific, please tell me.
Macs don’t use .exe, so if you find a windows app, it’s not helping.

There’s a few tools listed on this page (read the later posts, as the first few are slightly off the mark)
http://www.moviecodec.com/topics/397p2.html
Most tend to be commercial products though. The only one I see on that page that’s freeware is ffmpeg x.

Hoops Guest | Is there a difference btwn Quicktime on a PC and a Mac? I have a movie made on iMovie and want to convert it to a Windows Media compatible file, but even when I convert it to an .avi and feed it into the Windows Media Encoder, it will not accept the source as valid. Is this because it was created on a Mac and is incompatible on my PC? Do I need to export the file in a different format from iMovie — I’ve tried it in a .dv and .avi format but nothing works. I just want to get this file into a PC compatible format.
