Exporting a .wmv in Quicktime Pro only exports first 30s?

I open a 2:30mn .mp4 movie (created in iMovie, compressed in Compressor) in QT Pro, and choose:
*Edit > Select All*, then
*File > Export*, and choose "Movie to Windows Media" & "Default Settings".

It works, but the resulting file is only the first 30 seconds of the movie. Sometimes 29 seconds. Sometimes 34 seconds.

Anyone knows how to export the whole movie as a .wmv?

Thanks!

I'm assuming that you have the flip4mac codec installed?

If so, you have the free version which will only permit the first 30 seconds to be exported. If you want more, you'll have to pay!

However visualhub also exports wmv, so I'd weigh up the differences between flip4mac pro and visualhub if you want to continue exporting wmv's.

From the flip4mac website: Trial download limitations:
In trial mode you can export ½ the duration of your source file up to 30 seconds. In addition, a watermark will be placed on any files that you import until you upgrade to Player Pro.
