I think Flip4Mac will help Compressor import, but what about Final Cut X?
If I import a WMV into Compressor it will only do either video OR audio stream. It won't do both, is that correct?
thanks...
As you note, Flip4Mac can work as a plug-in with Compressor's QuickTime Component setting to allow you transcode WMV files to a codec that FCP can read.
But it will output a mixed file with audio and video.
It does not function as a plug-in with FCP's import process.
You can use the plug-in to export as WMV via Compressor, as outlinedhere.

Thanks Russ, appreciate that.
Are yous saying Compressor can export a video and audio muxed together in one file (eg: MP4)?
The only way I've been able to do this is by sending the file from FCP to Compressor.
What version do you have?
Russ
Compressor 4.1.3
FCPX 10.1.3
Sorry. Trying, but I can't come up with a reason why you should get that kind of behavior. Perhaps someone else will chime in.

Can you use Flip4Mac to import WMVs into Final Cut X?
