Mac Forum / Applications / Media Player / October 2006cannot open windows media player for mac osx
Hola!! I downloaded "windows media-3.sitx". I gave a mac osx. When I try to open it, it says "safari cannot open it because there is not an application available to open it". I am a bit desperate, because the videos I try to see are all wmp. What should I do? Thanks everybody. >Hola!! >I downloaded "windows media-3.sitx".

Yep - to unpack it just grab the free version of Stuffit Expander from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/stuffitexpander.html Cheers - Neil ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2006 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs This didnt work!!! > >Hola!! > >I downloaded "windows media-3.sitx".

I downloaded it and the icon appears on my desktop. Then when it prompts me to choose an application, i choose stuffit expander and 'open' but then it tells me 'the file does not appear to be compressed or encoded' and it can't open it. Can you let me know what you did? thanks > Thanks, I usually am <g> > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Digital Media MVP : 2004-2006 > http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs > I can't open/install it either.

On the other hand, as I previously mentioned in numerous threads, unless you need to access a file that's using DRM 1.5 or less, you'd be much better of with the QuickTime codecs for WMV instead... http://www.flip4mac.com/jump_microsoft.htm or http://microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx Corentin  Signature--- Mac:MS MVP (Francophone) http://www.cortig.net/wordpress/ --- http://www.mvps.org - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com MVPs are not MS employees - Les MVP ne travaillent pas pour MS Remove "NoSpam" to e-mail me - Retirez "NoSpam" pour m'écrire |
