Mac Forum / Applications / Media Player / March 2007WMP error on certain sites
I have WMP 9 and Flip4Mac and on some sites/ pages that I try to watch video I get an error message "WMP cannot play this file because the Player does not support this file format". Does anyone know how to fix this? I have a Mac OSX 10.4.8, and I have tried to play the video in both Safari and Firefox. For ex. I can play this http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/video.php?id=930 but not this http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/video.php?id=1382 >I have WMP 9 and Flip4Mac and on some sites/ pages that I try to watch video >I get an error message "WMP cannot play this file because the Player does >not support this file format".

This is weird. The message is a WMP error message (that's fairly frequent actually). Flip4Mac should disable this (you could see other error mesasges, but not this one). I would suggest re-downloading and reinstalling the Flip4Mac package to let it properly disable WMP and get rid of that problem.
