Converting QuickTime to Windows Media

using quick time pro 7.0 max length is 24 secs?

On a Mac, in system 10.4.6, I am trying to convert a .mov that is 59 seconds long in to a .wmv with QT Pro 7. Everytime I try, the file is trimed to 24 seconds.

Anybody have an idea how I can get around this?

Or is there another tool I should be using?

thanks...

Are you already using Flip4Mac's wmv plugin?

Yes I am....

Hmm, odd. Sounds like it would be worth firing off an email to Telestream. Flip4Mac is normally fairly reliable.

A slightly expensive alternative which I use for Mac-based wmv encoding is Popwire's Compression Master.

Thank you for that, I will check in to it.

No problemo travelin_cat :)

Another possibility I just learned about, the trial version of Flip4Mac trims your source video to half its original length, with a maximum length of 30 seconds. Are you sure you aren't using the trial version?

Good luck!

that could be the problem, thanks for pointing that out. I'll check out their website asap.
