Joining / converting wmv files in OS 10.3.5 |
|
|
Hello -
I've been sent a bunch of wmv files - which I can play without problem
on WMP 9.0. I'd like to do two things with these files:
1) Join several of them together. I've read that there is no way to join
wmv files on the mac side, so I need to convert them. The apps I've
tried so far leave me with video and audio dramatically out of sync
(when the conversions play at all). Does anyone have a favorite OSX
converter/joiner for wmv's? Other solutions?
2) I'd like to catalogue the files in iView MediaPro with the rest of
our content. iView, of course, does not recognize wmv's, so again I am
back to needing to convert the wmv's into another format without losing
quality or a/v sync - but I need to do this with a couple hundred files.
Any ideas or other solutions out there? TIA!

not quite....it pretty much depends of what codecs you are talking
about.
I'd suggest trying to play with the files in ffmpeg X. The applciation
might be able to join the files directly. If not, you might be able to
convert them to DivX and then join them.

Yes, I've tried ffmeg x, with only limited success. Few of the files are
able to be joined. Thanks for the lead though. |
