Mac Forum / Applications / Media Player / April 2005No sound when WMP 9 for Mac OS X plays WMV from Microsoft Live Meeting
Microsft makes the following claim for WMP 9 for Mac OS X: "Microsoft Windows Media Player for Mac brings the best audio and video to millions of Mac users with full support for the industry-leading Windows Media Technologies." However, when I play WMV files downloaded from Microsoft Live Meeting, (I presume this meets the criterion of being one of the "...industry-leading Windows Media Technologies"), the video appears to work normally, but there is no sound. I get sound when playing other AV files with WMP or QT, so apparently the problem is in WMP; maybe MS is using a codec in Live Meeting that is not supported by WMP, but why would they do that? Does anyone know what is going on? And, more importantly, does anyone know of a workaround, such as a better Mac OS X media player for WMV files? Many thanks for reading my post. > maybe MS is using a codec in Live Meeting that > is not supported by WMP, yes > but why would they do that? to get you over to windows  Signature------------------------------------------- Swedish Webcams <http://www.webcams.zap.to> ------------------------------------------- > However, when I play WMV files downloaded from Microsoft Live Meeting, > (I presume this meets the criterion of being one of the > "...industry-leading Windows Media Technologies"), the video appears to > work normally, but there is no sound. Maybe the sound codec they use is not supported on the Mac (a lot of codecs still aren't - especially thrid party ones). > I get sound when playing other AV files with WMP or QT, so apparently > the problem is in WMP; maybe MS is using a codec in Live Meeting that > is not supported by WMP, but why would they do that?

You can always try the flip4mac QuickTime codecs that are supposed to bring WM support in Quicktime. So far I had a mixed success with it but you never know, Corentin Signature--- Mac:MS MVP (Francophone) --- 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 |
