Flip4Mac WMV Query: Why it only export a portion of the QT movie?

Hello all.

I downloaded, installed and purchased the "pro version" of Flip4Mac WMV for QuickTime. My QT is QuickTime Pro, enabling me to within a QT movie, export it to various movie format, including Window's .wmv format.

But this problem has been "bugging" me since Day 1 I use Flip4Mac, when I choose to export a QT movie to a .wmv format, it does not export the entire movie (in whole, in length), but almost just export half of the length of the QT movie -- hence I am not getting the .wmv mov in whole.

Has anyone encounter this problem, and if there is any fix to this?

Thanks and cheers

That's because you're in "trial" mode. Only gives you 1/2 the duration up to 30 seconds. To get the full version, you have to go to the prefs and buy a license.

Hi TopoTone, *please read my initial first post*, I did purchase the *full license of Flip4Mac WMV*, am not using the trial/free version.

And I am still getting only about half the length of any QT movie that I re-export from QT Player.

Thanks and cheers

Ahh..yes...I was in automatic mode...whenever I see someone say they can only get 1/2 their encode done, then it's pretty much the issue I said.
Sorry if I'm gonna ask something stupid, but when you go to the F4M prefs, and click on the Upgrade tab, does your name and serial number appear right below? ..or, is there an "activate" button available?

Hi TopoTone, it's OK.

Yes, when I am in the Flip4Mac WMV Preference Pane, I see my name, a serial number and it says "Flip4Mac WMV Player Pro". 3 buttons choice of Upgrade License, Change Serial Number and Deactivate Number.

Now it's my turn to "sound stupid" but since I know very little about Flip4Mac; Please don't tell me that Flip4Mac WMV Player Pro itself do not have the feature to export a .wmv file as a whole? Is that why I am facing? That I need to at least upgrade to a Flip4Mac WMV Studio??

Thanks and cheers

You need the Studio Pro version to export.
