Conversion Only Does First 30 Seconds

[Britsmith 0]

When I convert a video file in Toast 11.1 (Mac) it can only manage the first 30 seconds. It doesn't matter what the video is, or what format I try to convert it to; it pretends to complete to 100%, and gives me the assuring 'ping', but the resulting video is only 30 seconds long.

 

The latest file I tried is only 5 minutes long, to convert from MP4 to WMV, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Why am I trying to convert this file? I want to import it into MS PowerPoint, and MP4s don't show up properly, whereas WMVs do.

 

What's going on here?

You need the Flip4Mac $49 Studio or $179 Studio Pro HD to export clips longer than 30 sec. I have not used either, so I can't recommend.

Why should I have to buy Flip4Mac when Toast claims to do it? That doesn't make sense, and does not answer my question.

Toast can encode to .wmv but does not have the license to decode .wmv. That's why you need to get that license separately.
