WMV to MOV

[senne]

I'm looking for an app that exports WMV to a Quicktime MOV file. I have searched on macupdate, but i couldn't find one.. Anyone know such app?

Thanks!

This comes up from time to time. There is no such app. The only way is to perform a workaround by doing a screen cap of your WMV while it's playing and then processing it to your preferred codec.

SnapzPro 2 does an impressive job of doing this:

I looked a lot a month or so ago, I don't think there is such a thing. Not on the Mac at any rate. It really annoyed me, because whenever I install WMP, my computer starts acting funny. You can change WMA to AAC with iTunes now though...

WMV, it's a streaming video. The problem is that when i play the video, it stucks after 10 seconds. WMP does that all the time on my computer. Ohwell...

Thanks for your help!

Oh, if it's streaming video, then you're even MORE out of luck. You may be able to find some vague utility (or combination of utilities) that would let you convert a self-contained WMV into some other format, but if it's streaming video, then you're stuck using WMP to view that (or any other application that supports streaming WMV).

The problem is that the actual WMV data (the movie) is stored on the server, so the server itself would have to have the video encoded in a QuickTime-compatible format in order for you to be able to use QuickTime to view it.

Ain't gonna happen, sorry.

What mindbend suggested would still work, as long as you didn't have to re-buffer.

WMV isnt necessarily streamed. however, i beleive cleaner 6 MAY be able to convert from WM to QT.
