How do i get to watch something that will only open with window's media?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but we are new to the mac and have been trying to get some way to get windows media videos to play on our new mac. I tried to download the software to let them play on quicktime but it says that it can't play on an intel machine.....So then i tried to download windows media for mac from their website and when i do i see a file on the desktop called windows media.sitx. When i try to open it it says that there is no program to open this program. So what is next? I have not been able to find anything about this out there so any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
matt

here is a download for the beta version for Intel Mac of Flip4Mac.
Download it, install and it should work.

    If they don't have a Mac version and you must have it, you'll have to install Windows in Boot Camp or similar app.

  • MY old camera was a 60D with 7.1 raw format  and the new one is 6D. How do I get a plug in that will allow me to use both cameras in raw, and still access my old raw 7.1  files ? I am using Elements 11,

    using Elements 11, can I get a plug in that supports both cameras, and still access my old raw 7.1 files

    A new plug-in will support all the older cameras, so a plug-in that supports the newer 6D will also support the older 60D.
    The 60D needs at least ACR 6.2.
    The 6D needs at least ACR 7.3.
    PSE11 ships with ACR 7.1 but can be updated all the way up to ACR 8.0.
    What happens when you do a Help / Updates in the PSE Editor application?

    I cannot get my mac to attach files to email that may be read by windows users.  It is really annoying.  Any suggestions?

    What is an ordinary document? What program generated it? Windows has trouble opening documents if you don't have the extension visible as well.

  • How can I get high quality video that will play on my Touch as well as ATV?

    Within iMovie there are output settings for the iPod and for the Apple TV. Now I fully understand the video resolution restrictions of the iPod Touch, so I am happy using a widescreen resolution of 640x360 ("Medium" output setting). What I am not happy about is the quality of the Medium setting, which iMovie states is 1.7Mbps. The results are rather blocky to say the least. In comparison, I can output the same movie as "Large", with a res of 960x540 and a bitrate of 4Mbps, and it comes out a little soft, but the blocky artefacts have all but vanished. Unfortunately, of course, the iPod Touch won't play a video with this resolution. I have tried "Export using Quicktime" and can get good quality results. However, the video (although H.264 and 640x360) ends up NOT being compatible with my iPod Touch.
    Basically, how can I output a video of 640x360 that is of the quality I want, and that also plays on my iPod Touch? If the "Export using Quicktime" can be used to achieve this, what are the settings to use?
    Thanks.

    But why shouldn't I be able to have one video to suit both. I am happy with the resolution of 640x360, even on my ATV.
    You can. Unfortunately, your desire for both a data rate greater than 1.7 Mbps (H.264/AAC compression) and the ability to play them on an iPhone/Touch/iPod is mutually exclusive at this time. Thus, you will either have to make different files targeted for different data rates for maximum quality on each device or you make a single file using the maximum allowed data rate for playback on the "slower" device and accept the quality it produces on whichever device you are currently using. If all you want is a higher data rate, use the MPEG4 Simple Profile which allows data rates up to 2.5 Mbps. Just remember that the H.264 codec is about 2.0-2.5 times as efficient and is roughly equivalent to an MPEG-4 Simple Profile file with video encoded at 3.00-3.75 Mbps.

  • How do i get back my music that was deleted off my windows and it is not in my ipod anymore either

    okay. i wanted to transfer more music to my 4 days old ipod classic, then when i connected it with the same laptop that i used to transfer the first time, it said that it was a different itunes. i blindly said that it was okay to erase since the music will still be in my computer but it wont be in my ipod, i presume.
    so when it deleted everything from the ipod. i restarted my laptop 'cause it was lagging. when i went to itunes to transfer all my music and videos, all my videos and music was gone from itunes!
    when i check my files, all the songs were deleted! the videos as well. unsure of what to do, please tell me that it can be restored..! )x

  • How do you get my 7th gen iPod Nano to work with Windows 8?

    My iPod gives me the "iPod cannot be identified" error message when I plug it into my Windows 8 machine.  I have tried literally all of the troubleshooting steps on the website.  It works on previous versions of Windows.  Anyone else have this problem?  How do you fix it?

    Ok, I've downloaded the drivers as suggested.but still not printing as it should.
    It's now printing one page as opposed to many, but it still has the jargon on top of the page as depicted in my original post?
    From this info you advised, it does suggest, does it not, that the HP Laser Jet 6p is supported.
    Meanwhile, any other advice.
