Posted by: | I downloaded flipmac on my mac to view WMV files but it still does not work. Is there an extra step involved in the download process? |
Posted by: | I have found that some WMV files are ok with Flip4Mac but there are some which when you play them, give you audio but no video. I have tried with Windows Media Player for Mac too but it seems there is a codec that isn't supported by either platform. Another forum I read said this is the Windows Media Video Image codec. Does anyone out there have a solution for playing these particular files on a Mac? I managed to get them playing on WMP on a PC fine after installing the G2M3 codec, which makes sense as the files we are playing are from a webinar, and that is what GoToMeeting specialises in, but still no joy with the Mac. Any help you can give would be appreciated. |
