Converting files to .wmv

[ehmjay]

Hey everyone

I have a quick question. My boss is insisting that we release files for the web as WMV (actually his CLIENTS are insisting...) and we're having some trouble converting them. We can do it just fine on the PC but that adds more steps to the process. Is there a way to do it on the mac...possibly a free way?

We thought Flip4Mac would do it, but it creates 30 second files...perhaps because its not the full version just the free one on the site.

anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Autodesk Cleaner ($599) can export to WMV 7.
Flip4Mac WMV Studio Pro HD ($179) can export to WMV 7-8-9
I'm not aware of other Mac alternatives.

Well, it says so on their website:
[WMV Studio Pro HD] Trial download limitations:
In trial mode you can export 1/2 the duration of your source file up to 30 seconds

hmm that would make sence...any free solutions?

Nope.

Another (paid) alternative is Compression Master.

What about ffmpegX? Can it convert to wmv?

no it cant...i'll have to just tell my boss to buy cleaner.
