How do I export imovie08/09 to windows movie maker/quicktime/final cut to .wmv/mpg/avi and get them to play on Windows media player using iMovie to wmv converter Mac?

When you try to export a imovie08/09 edited file to .wmv file for uploading to Youtube or sharing with your Windows-based friends who prefer this format, only to find it saves parts of your movie, so is there a quick fix for this?

 
 How to export into windows movie maker WMV format straight from iMovie08, iMovie 09? Provided that you are not experienced with manipulating codecs.

First,mind you that ‘wmv’ isn’t just one ‘file’ – the data in such a file can be encoded with many CODECs – some of which don’t exist on Mac OS X.

To export as .wmv file by bringing your edited MOV into QuickTime Pro, Flip4Mac WMV Studio Pro or Final Cut Pro and converting it out from there, (you had to export to .MP4 and then open up Quicktime or Final Cut Pro and export for a second time to .WMV file), it gets clipped halfway through and you can save a .wmv but it doesn’t save the entire movie,even if you had purchased these plugins. So why?

Take Flip4Mac WMV Studio Pro for example, what you are getting is a typical example of the capability of the paid for version, that is, the ability to export as WMV comes from the Flip4Mac WMV player plugin which is free for playback of .wmv file but not for export. If you need to export WMV from iMovie, you need to get more expensive version WMV Studio at $49, which allows you to import and export WMV to iMovie. Let me be clear, WMV Studio only allows you to import and export WMV, so if you want to convert your iMovie08 video to other formats like AVI next time, you need to get AVI component.
