editing of .wmvs for mac!?

[extremelyclueless]

hi.

i need to join a couple of short .wmvs but to date i have been unable to find a video tool for macintosh that allows me to do that. i hope i haven´t overread anything in the manuals i checked on this forum. any of you knows of an application for mac os x to join .wmvs?

You'd probably get more answers to Mac specific questions in our Mac Forum. Moving you.

And welcome to our forums.

Does the resulting compilation need to remain a wmv or will you consider transcoding to mp4?

Once installed, You simply open the files into Quicktime PRO,
Edit if necessary, and then export the files as one composite wmv file.
(or any other file type)

Rumple,

actually, if I don´t lose quality I would prefer to convert it to .mp4. I remember you giving me some good advice quite a while ago, so what do you suggest this time?

In case you will suggest Flip4Mac, I have problems launching it since it keeps falsely claiming that I do not have QuickTime Player installed (-> https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/319795-problem-launching-Flip4Mac-wmv-StudioPro-on-a-MacBook-Pro)

I would give it a try if only I could find a .dmg with Quicktime Pro somewhere. All I get is .exes and I am not going to get the old dusty windows machine out of the basement just for this ...

Make sure your Flip4Mac components (the free package you can download from Microsoft) are updated. Use MPEG Streamclip's Batch List to add the videos and convert them all to MP4 (H264) at whatever bitrate, size, etc. you require. Be sure to check the "Join all files" checkbox in the dialog.

Let us know how it goes.

that sounds good. MPEGstreamclip i already have, right now i am downloading the most recent version directly from microsoft´s site. didn´t know it was MS.

what i do not understand at all is what you mean by using MPEGstreamclip´s batch list. i suppose it´s the list that MPEGstreamclip keeps track of when playing a number of videos in a row. however, i have no clue how i could possibly "export" this list to another program, if that´s what you are referring to. besides, since MPEGstreamclip does not open these .wmvs, how can i possibly get them to into the batch list?

may i, with a wink at my user name, ask for some elaboration
