| Post subject: | Flip4Mac watermark after using Viddy Up |
I downloaded a .avi music video that played fine, when I dropped it onto Viddy Up to encode for the iPod, it worked fine but left a water mark from Flip4Mac! I have the Flip4Mac free plug in installed but I'm not interested in upgrading to a pay version - any idea what gives? Thanks, Pat |

It's possible the AVI you have contains a track encoded with a codec that only the Flip4Mac plugin understands, but it could be there's a misunderstanding that's led Flip4Mac to take over what would otherwise be a free decoding/encoding sequence handled by either the standard QuickTime components or a free third-party component. Can you send over a link so we can download and examine the AVI file? |

Any news regarding this? A friend of mine just experienced the same problem - I can try and get the file if you want it. Peter |

No news - we never received a copy of the AVI. Can you send your friend's file? If it's available online we only need a link or the exact Limewire/Torrent file name. If it's small enough to send via email send it to support@splasm.com. Thanks! |

I have just sent you 2 files via email: A 10 second clip of the original (in a QT .Mov container) and the ViddyUp processed one. One interesting thing is, that I we tried this on 2 mac's and the problem only occured on one of them. The difference? - the Mac without problems had a Flip4Mac WMV Studio license So it seems that if you have the Flip4Mac Studio license you can export without the watermark - if you only have the free Flip4Mac you can't. Maybe that can bring you closer to the problem? |

Thanks for sending the files. We just looked over them and it's clear that the AVI file contains Windows Media 9 video data. That's why the one Mac works fine with it while the other does not - Flip4Mac users must license at least Flip4Mac Player Pro in order to export Windows Media content to other formats from QuickTime applications like ViddyUp!. I wish there was a viable workaround from QuickTime but the only way to process these files, without licensing Flip4Mac Player Pro or higher, is to forego QuickTime and use a tool based on ffmpeg. |

Too bad, but at least we cleared up what was causing the problem. So if one needs to convert a lot of WMV9 files, you need to purchase the $29 Pro Player from Flip4Mac. Not a huge amount, but compared to the price of your excellent software it's a bit steep 
Thanks for you quick response, ViddyUp is a great piece of software. |
