Mac Forum / Applications / Media Player / April 2007Cant open wma files
Hi. I downloaded flip for mac and windows media (the stix file). I dont understand what I am doing wrong. When I try to open flip 4 mac it doesn't do anything. I try to open the wma files in quicktime it tells me "Error opening movie. qicktime could not open movie" . I will try to open the windows media player file to do it but from what I understand I shoudn't have to and should just be able to use flip 4 mac. Please help. > Hi.

WMP indeed comes in a sitx file, but you then need to unstuff it (Stuffit Expander) and launch the installer. Flip4Mac does a much better job with Windows Media content so if you have it installed, chances are that you don't need WMP anyway. You are supposed to be able to open the file in QuickTime player (Flip4Mac WMV is just a set of additional codecs for QT). If it doesn't work, it *could* mean that the file is encoded with codecs not supported on Mac (wma is a container format - many codecs can be used to encode the vieo inside). Try to see if you can open the file in VLC (Video LAN Client). You could even use this app to see what codecs have been used to create the file and figure out what' wrong, 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 |
