WMV to MOV

What's a good utility to make this conversion happen?

Re: WMV to MOV

flip 4 mac and quicktime pro?

I've never tried but I'd look there first since flip 4 mac is the way to go with wmv on a mac...

Re: WMV to MOV

+1 probably though I avoid WMV files other than amusement.

Windows Media® Components for QuickTime

The free one for playing them.

Yeah, I can play them but that doesn't let me convert them to .mov.

The trick is having QuickTime Pro. If you pay the 7 bucks or whatever it is, you get to save movies from the Player. So you open up the WMV in QuickTime, and then save it as a .MOV.

Re: WMV to MOV

Yeah...I was hoping for a free utility. There seems to be several products in the $20-$40 range, I may just have to bite the bullet. FYI, Quicktime Pro is $30.

Re: WMV to MOV

I bit the bullet and bought Quicktime Pro. I'm sure I'll have enough uses for it, especially now that I have it.

Re: WMV to MOV

I use this tool. It does cost money but it works great for converting movies. I use it to convert avi movies from a co-worker. It is pretty qiuck.

VisualHub: The Universal Video Converter for Mac.

It was well worth the money in my book.
