Mac Forum / Applications / Media Player / February 2005Making Windows Media Player my Default Player on OSX
Does anyone know how to make Windows Media Player my default player instead of Quick Time for my OS X. > Does anyone know how to make Windows Media Player my default player instead > of Quick Time for my OS X. The OS X version of WMP is *not* an all-around media player; it will only play MS's proprietary formats such as .wmv, .wma, .asf, etc. You need QuickTime and/or iTunes for everything else.

I'd even add VLC or MPlayer for some formats QT fails to play.

And the DivX codecs, and RealPlayer for their stuff, etc. Emily Signature"If it seem slow, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay."

QuickTime is stabile and reliable and you are lucky of Windows Media Player even works and if it does the quality usually sucks. The download doesn't even work. Comes on the desktop as a .sitx file. What is that supposed to be? It won't unpack with the latest version of Stuffit expander. QuickTime is THE de facto standard for video. Microsoft can't even get a player that works. >-----Original Message----- >Does anyone know how to make Windows Media Player my default player instead >of Quick Time for my OS X. >. >-----Original Message----- >Does anyone know how to make Windows Media Player my default player instead >of Quick Time for my OS X. >. |
