wmv to mov
 

Anybody know how to do it?
Using FCP and sometimes get wmv and avi as source material, and can't use it.
Thanks

If you also have a PC it is possible, however if you only have a
Mac I can't help you in that regard. On a PC the NLE Sony Vegas
can do it for example.

I'm also PC-only, but wonder if Quick Time Pro wouldn't do it.

Thanks.
I've got QT Pro. Unfortunately, it won't recognize wmv files.
So Vegas is the only answer... I was hoping there'd be something like DivXWMAConverter or Music Man (both audio only and for Mac) or even Audio Hijack (is there a Video Hijack?) for video.

Jonathan: there may be many more answers, but I don't know
of any, especially on the Mac platform.

Thanks.
I'll update this thread if I do find a solution that works.

Yep, this is the Mac answer. There are several programs for the pc that will do it. Most are only a modest 20-30 dollar fee. I downloaded one the other day called MPEG converter but it can do WMV to AVI. Once you have an AVI file, it can be brought straight into FCP.

I have flip4mac installed, but have only used it to watch wmv downloads in QuickTime and it works seamlessly. I think you need the "Pro" version ($49) to open and edit in FCP.
