How to convert an M4V to QuickTime or burn to DVD - Page 2

I see... they want to make me wade through several screens of stuff and ads before I get to the download. Was that 3 different screens there? Or did I just take the long way?

I had to go through 3 or 4 screens before I could finally download the software, but I'm glad I did.
When I get home from work, I'll upload the exe file and post a direct link to it.

Might I suggest an HD TiVo?

How about You Send It? Sign up for a free trial account (the free "Lite" account only handles up to 100MB) and you can send up to 2 GB. Or, if you don't want to do that, contact me (phone or PM) and I will assist in the process (you would send it to me at work and I would forward it on to DP).

That would require I also subscribe to HBO or Showtime - whichever one it's on. I just get my torrent online and all is good or will be once I start burning them to DVD.

Thank you for the file Isaac.

Unfortunately, SUPER does not appear to support the conversion of m4v files.

Hmm....I converted an M4V to an MPG before..

I'll have to search through my computer programs.

I've got the file, and I'm running it through my encoder right now. Not sure what will happen, because it really didn't like it... it kept telling me to open it only through iTunes.

However, it does appear to be compressing something... I'll know in about a half hour if it worked.

It's been over three hours: how's it looking?

I wonder if it is another format and somebody just changed the extension in an effort to get it to work somewhere (I've run into that on video before). Since you've had trouble and the program Isaac recommended didn't work, I am starting to suspect that. Or the file might be corrupted just enough to cause problems.
