Hello, I’ve created about 8 hours of video using windows media encoder, which I believe returns a file of .wma. I’m having a major problem getting them to play on Macintosh computers, and I figure, I might as well create a DVD movie with chapters that can be played on any DVD player, i.e. TV. I’ve browsed through a lot of the guides, but the material is more complex than I’d like to learn. Although, I will if I have too. Anyhow, is there any software that I can buy that simple does what I’m looking for? I tried creating the .wma files to .avi and it was a train wreck…. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
WMV Load your WMV file in DVD Flick and create your DVD.DVD Flick is free, very good quality output.I don't know the size(MB)/quality of your video, but for 8 hours you might need a DL disc, or split it in two and create tow DVD5 . http://beginwithsoftware.com/videoguides/dvd-flick-guide.html
