Default Video Converting Problems on MAC
Hey Guys:

I just switched from a Windows computer to a MacBook Air. So I download and installed Ultimate Video Converter for Mac (Ultimate Video Converter for MAC | Best Video Converter for MAC) and Roxio Crunch. Crunch sucks because it has no profiles for Zune and I cant create any profiles for my Zune. So I tried using the iPod Video setting at high for my Zune. Pictures was clear, but the audio didnt match up. So I started using Ulitmate Converter. I encoded some .avi files to "Zune MPEG-4 AVC" because I thoguht that would get me closer to the Zune formart so I would not have to have any of my files have to trascode when putting them on my Zune. But its still tracoding and converting them. What can I do?

Also, I knwo the Zune cant sync with MAC. So I run Parrells. I installed the Zunesoftware ok , but still cant sync or download from the Zune music store. Any work around for this yet??

Its crazy that Apple gave support for the iPhone to MS , but MS wont give Zune support to Apple. SMH.

Thanks for the help.

Shaun

If the movie you're trying to convert is Dark Knight, there's the problem.

It is not crazy... Windows has about 93% of the desktop market share, whereas Mac has about 5%. If Apple only supported Macs, iPhones would work on about 5% of computers. It is not like Apple really had a choice if they wanted their product to sell well at all. Things like VMWare can be used on Macs to be able to sync with Zunes.

LMAO. It was that bad. It could have been like Superman Returns.

I have been Parallels so far. I can connect my Zune, but it wont connect or allow downloading from the Zune Marketplace.
