Hello!
I just purchased QuickTime Pro for my machine running Windows 7. I have several .wmv files that I need to convert to Quicktime. I was told by an Apple Rep that this could definitely be done, but I can't seem to make it happen. Does anyone have any simplified directions for converting my existing .wmv files into QuickTime files using QuickTime Pro 7? Thanks so much!
Windows 7
I also have the need to convert and play WMV in Quicktime.
Then I google search and test so many called WMV to QuickTime Converter.
Finally and lucily I find Avdshare Video Converter works great in batch converting WMV to QuickTime MOV
According to my test, it also helps to convert MKV, AVI, MPG, AVCHD, WTV, RMVB, etc to QuickTime supported video format.
The Windows version of QuickTime Player Pro can't even open WMP formats let alone convert them to other formats.
http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/overview.htm is a Mac only product that can convert WMP formats using QuickTime.
You'll need some other software on your PC.
Thanks for the info! What type of software should I try?
Thanks again!
A Google search will show hunreds of options. Start with those that are free and work your way up.
My PC (XP) is too old to test most of them.
For windows, I really like AVS Video Converter .. Simple interface and it has a ton of options...
WMV, such a well received format by Windows users, is kept out of iDevice and QuickTime. Neither Mac nor Windows users can import WMV videos to iPhone, iPad, iPod, iTunes for playback.
