Free or Not Free Video Converters for Mac
Windows and Mac always try to top one another with their technology and what not. Usually Window’s stuffs are not directly supported by Mac and vice versa. So users who got both of them get in a problem. Suppose you were a Windows user and now you have decided to use Mac for a change. You want your multimedia files to work on the Mac platform but they are not directly supported.
WMV files are Windows Media Videos that are not supported by Mac. So what to do if you have a bunch of videos with that format but you are now unable to play them on Mac. How to play WMV on Mac? Well, you have to convert the WMV for Mac supported format.
There are a lot of video converters available on the Internet that you can use. Some of them won’t cost you anything, some of them will promise you a bunch of things but won’t do a thing in reality, some of them may have virus in them and some of them will turn out to be really good. “My Video Converter” is a free-ware that is available on the Internet. Currently version no 1.2.29 is available. The converter supports a good range of video formats to convert. Supported formats are: AVI, DIV, DIVX, XVID, MPG, MPEG, DAT, WMV, ASF, ASX, RMVB, RM, MOV, MP4, M4V, *>*QT, 3GP, 3G2, and FLV. You can convert between these formats. The interface is really easy to use. You just have to choose the video that you want to convert, and then select the output format and the output folder. You can adjust video options like aspect ratio, video resolution etc. That is all that you have to do. Rest will be taken care of by the converter itself. It is said to be a pretty good one. But lacking is there. You cannot convert DVD, VCD or SVCD file, inclusion of which would have been very helpful. And another problem is that you would have to use it on Windows. Mac is not supported by it. So if you got a Mac and you got all your video on external storage devices you cannot convert the .WMV for Mac. To do that you will require software that works on Mac.
Actually it is better to do the conversion process on the Mac. Because, on Mac you can instantly check out the compatibility of the converted format, if any problem is there, if anything is out of place or if something has gone wrong etc. Well another obstacle is there. Finding a good converter for Mac is somewhat difficult. As the number of Mac users is significantly lower than the number of Windows users, you won’t be able to actually get a good idea by looking at the reviews. And trial and error is really not something that is recommended. It is best to use a already stable video converter that is available on the Internet.
