When you have come into possession of a file with an .MPG or .MPEG extension, you usually have either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video. MPEG-1 video is used on VideoCD (VCD) discs and MPEG-2 video is used on Super VideoCD (SVCD) and DVD discs.

Knowledge sharing: What are WMV files?

WMV format on MacWindows Media Video (WMV) is a compressed video file format for several proprietary codecs developed by Microsoft. The original codec, known as WMV, was originally designed for Internet streaming applications, as a competitor to RealVideo. The other codecs, such as WMV Screen and WMV Image, cater for specialized content. Through standardization from the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), WMV has gained adoption for physical-delivery formats such as HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc. It doesn't necessarily define the technology what it uses -- since version 7 (WMV7) Microsoft has used its own flavour of MPEG-4 video encoding technology (not very surprising, it's not compatible with other MPEG-4 technologies..). DivX ;-) video format is originally based on hacked WMV codec.

How to Play WMV Video on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard included)

noreply@blogger.com (rip) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 06:51:00 +0000

Since WMV’s compatibility with Mac system is not very satisfying, many Mac users find it impossible for them to play the their own WMV videos or WMV videos sent by their friends who have PCs. This article is about how to play WMV video on Mac (Snow Leopard included), introduces four most popular ways to play WMV videos and some WMV conversion apps.

Part 1: How to play WMV on Mac (Snow Leopard included)

VLC Media Player (Highly Recommended, Compatible with Snow Leopard)
Mac users can use VLC media player to play WMV files and the output quality is quite satisfying. This player is an open source, free software media player written by the VideoLAN project. I highly recommend this player as I think it’s the most powerful media player ever! It supports a wide range of video and audio formats, as well as DVDs, Audio CDs VCDs and streaming protocols. Plus, it’s one of the most platform-independent players available, with versions for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, BeOS, Syllable, BSD, MorphOS, Solaris and Sharp Zaurus.
Windows Media Player 9 for Mac

windows-media -player

Windows Media Player 9 for Mac developed by Microsoft for Mac users to playback both local and streamed WMV and WMA files. It’s available as a download free of charge, but Microsoft seemed to attach little importance to it because it announced that there were no plans for the upgrade of the player.

In general, this player meets the needs of playing WMV files on Mac. However, the discontinue upgrade decision did cause trouble to Mac users. This player supports Apple Mac OS X version 10.1.5 or later (latest release of version 10.2.x recommended) when it was released in 2003. Some Leopard OS users find it really a headache to unzip the player 9 download or to get this player to work normally. So if your system is not supported by this player, turn to other solutions.

Flip 4 Mac ( Flip4mac WMV Beta supports Mac OS X Snow Leopard )

As mentioned in the above that Microsoft won’t upgrade windows media player 9, Microsoft did offer an alternative for Mac users: Windows Media® Components for QuickTime Flip4Mac, which is developed by Telestream. With this QuickTime component, you can play WMV and WMA files directly in QuickTime Player and watch streamed WMV videos.

If you want to edit, convert or encode the WMV files, they offer more commercial tools, but the price is relatively high and the WMV Studio Pro HD cost whooping $179.

Part 2: Convert WMV on Mac (Snow Leopard included)

WMV File Conversion

If you just want to play WMV videos on Mac, you can choose one of the above ways to do it. I personally prefer VLC player considering its powerful functions. But for converting WMV videos, a video conversion program is a more sensible choice. A video converter is like an integration of all video format components.

WMV Studio, which is one of the Flip4Mac component series, can do the conversion. It cost $49 but can only convert WMV to MOV file. In comparison, iSkysoft Video Converter for Mac cost only $35. It supports all video conversion on Mac, including convert WMV to MOV, MP4, iTunes, iMovie, etc. If you don’t want to pay extra $49 for like AVI component, get a video converter.

How to store commercial DVD and watch without disc on Mac

noreply@blogger.com (rip) — Wed, 13 May 2009 08:16:00 +0000

Watching movies is an essential part of our leisure life on weekends. Many moviegoers have tons of DVD on the shelf. We may waste lots of time to find the DVD, specially the commercial DVDs. We have to take the disc if we want to watch movies on our travel. Sometimes the discs may be gotten ruined by scratches. We need a way to manage our personal DVDs collection and watch without disc.

Now, we can store DVD movies on your Mac with DVD-Library, a new utility that creates an image of the DVD on our hard drive so we can watch without the disc on Mac.

The image preserves the quality, navigation and special features of the original DVD and can be played using Apple's DVD Player or Front Row. DVD-Library allows you to play your images on any computer that you own but does not allow you to share your images with others. It can help you keep track of your DVDs in particular.

It's nice to have perfect quality one for one copies of my favorites right on my hard drive when I travel, and the "DVD boxes" are a nice touch. Although the images take up a good bit of space, I keep my main library on a backup drive and rotate images on my Macbook before I leave for a trip, or simply take the drive with me. This is a great solution for watching movies on a notebook and keeping DVDs from getting ruined by scratches.

DVD-Library requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later. The beta is FREE.

Here is the user guide: How to use DVD-Library to store commercial DVD on Mac?

How to use handbrake to convert video to MP4 AVI MKV etc. on Mac OS X!

noreply@blogger.com (rip) — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 02:52:00 +0000

Requirements:

* 500 MHz processor or better with at least 16MB of video RAM
* (Handbrake 0.9.3 and higher) Handbrake 0.9.3 (Only the latest version of handbrake 0.9.3 can convert videos using the Theora codec. It can convert videos such as 3GP, AVI, FLV, MKV, MOD, MOV, MP4, MPG, WMV to MP4, MKV, AVI, OGM on Mac. But sometimes, Some such videos can not be loaded successfully.)
* Mac OS X 10.5 or higher

Handbrake is famous known as a DVD Ripper for Mac OS X for a long time! Not long ago, handbrake release edition 0.9.3 which can support convert video on Mac, and i have tested a lot to find the formats that handbrake supports. And the steps almost the same with how to rip DVD using handbrake!

More i want to inform here is the settings.
Click on the Picture Settings button to launch a separate window. The only thing you really want to do here is to compensate for interlaced or grainy, compressed looking video. Handbrake will have adjusted everything here for you based on the preset you selected. Sometimes video files will have horizontal lines in them. This is called interlacing. To get rid of interlacing, try turning on the Deinterlace option and select "Fast." The image below is animated and will toggle between when the deinterlace option is turned on or off. You can really see the difference around the edge of the flipper.
Remember: the larger the screen size, the larger the file size will be, and hence the more time it will take for Handbrake to convert your files.

So you can touch it everywhere as so many people talking about it. iSkysoft Studio released iSkysoft iMedia Converter for Mac which also can rip dvd and convert video. It is shareware and cost you $49.

What is the different between both?

The most rumor, from not only my friends but also other, said handbrake is hard to understand. I was work as a developer for half and a year, so I can read it well, but for you who are blank to the program, there is also a way. Just choose an output device for as on the screenshot below, the settings fit for will automatically load to the
main window, you no need to change the default settings, just add to queue to be waiting for conversion.

Below are the main-window screenshots for both, I will show the differences between the two :

Tip:
1. For Handbrake, If you want a better ripping speed, using mac the ripper make a copy of the dvd to your

hard drive first.
2. For Handbrake, after all the settings, you need to click ‘Add to Queue’ to add the task, otherwise the task will be ignored.
3. For iSkysoft iMedia Converter for Mac, if you want to apply the settings to all the dvds or videos in the list, click ‘Apply to all’.

General speaking, if you do not need edit, handbrake is enough for you. But handbrake can not decrypt commercial DVDs except css protection dvds. iSkysoft iMedia Converter for mac is easy to control that means more user-friendly as it is a shareware. I have tons of videos and dvds, I used to iSkysoft iMedia Converter for mac to crop and trim the wonderful parts to share with my families and friends or make a watermark to upload to share online or just put in my psp slim or iPod video. Here I also would like to recommend iMovie to edit videos, which can edit videos more professionally and powerfully than iSkysoft iMedia Converter for Mac. But the supported input video formats is limited and can not support the import of dvds.

If you are insterested in iSkysoft iMedia Converter for Mac, here is a demo.
