• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Convert wmv to mov

I am new to Mac, and definitely not computer savvy when it comes to formatting and such.

I have a wmv file (video and audio) that I'm trying to convert to mov with a program called ffmpegx, but I have no idea how to. I dragged the file to the converter and it identifies it as a asf file (??). From the Quick Preset menu, I choose MOV, and then I click on 'Encode'. A window opens up saying it's finished, but when I click on the blue circle with an i, it says:


FFmpeg version CVS, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard
Mac OSX universal build for ffmpegX
libavutil version: 49.0.0
libavcodec version: 51.9.0
libavformat version: 50.4.0

Seems that stream 1 comes from film source: 1000.00 (1000/1) -> 29.97 (30000/1001)
Input #0, asf, from '/Users/owner1/Desktop/Arlene's 28 v2.wmv':
Duration: 00:35:51.6, start: 3.000000, bitrate: 3091 kb/s
Stream #0.0: Audio: wmav2, 44100 Hz, stereo, 320 kb/s
Stream #0.1, 29.97 fps(r): Video: WMV3 / 0x33564D57, 720x480
Incorrect frame rate


So the only thing I understand is it says the frame rate is incorrect, but I have no idea what that is. I went to the Video section, and saw it says Framerate, so I tried choosing all options (Unspecified, NTSC Film, NTSC and PAL) but nothing works.

HEEEEELLLP...!
