Streaming Video for Windows Media Player?

I have a website with steaming video that only opens in quicktime and I need the video to also open in Windows Media Player for people who only have access to a PC and do not want to deal with Quicktime downloads. Does anyone know how to do this on a MAC? I use FCP 5, Compressor, ect.

You are going to need to have two versions of the video file. One for Mac Quicktime users and one for WIndows Media Player users.
WMV Studio Pro looks like it could meet your needs.

However you will need a Windows Media Server to stream the WMV file otherwise it will act as a download only.

  • Streaming video through Windows Media Player using USRP

    Is there any document / guide or any example explaining how to do streaming through Windows Media Player using USRP. 
    Thanks

    Joseph,
    I have been looking a bit more and have found a few examples that seem similar to what you are looking to do. Here is an example of video streaming using USRP RIO or FlexRIO https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-40747. I also found an example of doing wireless streaming of video https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-22728. Sorry I was unable to find these in my first post; I hope they help!

  • Opening a video in Windows Media Player

    How do you open a video in Windows Media Player?
    The video I'm trying to open in Windows Media Player is an
    avi file.
    I noticed that in the Authorware 7 book, it says to simply
    add a
    wmp after "avi". For ex: myvideo.avi.wmp
    It then says to place or import that file onto Authorware
    (the flowline).
    However when I play it to view, it does not open in Windows
    Media
    Player. Can someone help me with this problem?
    Thank you.

    Yes it did. Thanx Erik. Appreciate it.

    If you want to play a movie OUTside Authorware, you use the
    JumpOUTReturn function, NOT the JumpFILEReturn function.
    Your folder setup is good.
    So with that folder setup, assuming 'myvideo.avi' is in the
    same folder
    as your Authorware file, just do:
    JumpOutReturn("", FileLocation^"myvideo.avi")
    That work for you?

  • Plugin for Windows Media Player is not working with Firefox 4 on Windows 7

    I updated my Firefox to the latest version 4 yesterday, but since this time seems plugin for Windows Media Player not working anymore. When I visit some website with embedded video - like [http://www.ta3.com/sk/live this] - the window with WMP is not displayed and no video is playing. The website reports: You don´t have any plugin for playing of this video.
    I reinstalled the plugin for WMP several times - with no success. This problem is on all webpages with embedded video for WMP. The installation of WMP plugin is successfully finished, but no video is playing. I checked the “plugins“ folder in the installation directory of Firefox and everything seems to be OK. Where is also the problem? Please, help me with solving of this problem...
    My operating system: Windows 7 (64-bit)

    I just saw this posted to the mozilla.support.firefox newsgroup in the topic,<br>

    ''Just for the record, the extension that conflicted with Windows Media Player is named: Real Player Browser Record Plug-In 14.0.2''

  • EXPORT LONG FILES IN 1080p for Windows Media Player

    Hello, need some help in exporting and encoding some large files from Premiere CS6.
    We have 4 Sequences, each totalling 45minutes in length and in 1080p (ProRes422).
    We need to export and encode for Windows Media Player as quickly as possible.
    Looks like each export is going to take over an hour from Premiere as "Match Sequence Settings"
    -keep in mind there is NO AUDIO.
    Once it's out of Premiere as an MPEG, I can transcode to any format. Ultimately WMV would be optimal,
    but we need to transcode the MPEG into a MOV file before 'Episode' will accept it, just to make the WMV files.
    Target files: (4) 1080p Windows Media Player compatible files
    Does anyone have a better workflow workaround? Midnight hour and need help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Dan

    Thanks Jim, I can't export to WMV out of Premiere or Media Encoder. I use Episode to make my WMV files, and since Episode doesn't take MPEG in from Premiere (sigh)
    I have to first make them in Quicktimes..
    But yes! Anything Windows Media Player can handle... should I just go with the 5GB MPG files? No way for me to test, I'm on a Mac and these are playing on a PC
    thanks for your help

  • Is there a plugin for windows media player for my android phone

    is there a plugin for windows media player for my android phone

    There is no Windows Media player plugin for any browser on Android. If you are lucky download the file and see if any of media players on the system can play the file.

  • DRM for Windows Media Player on the ipod

    My ipod is worthless, if it can't play files with DRM for Windows Media Player. My library, that offers this files for download says, it would cost 50.000 dollars to provide also ipod-compatible files. Because they can't spend this money, I will need a new mp3-player!

    The specs for the iPod (box, website) are pretty clear about what formats it supports. Unfortunately, protected WMA files are not supported.
    If the rights you have for those files includes burning them to an audio CD, you might want to do that.

  • Downloading plug-ins for windows media player

    i'm a brand new mac user -- bought a macbook less than 24 hours ago. i have not been able to trouble shoot installing plug-ins for windows media player. if anyone can advise, i would be most appreciative.

    Windows Media Player for Mac was discontinued more than a year ago by Microsoft. They recommend using the free Flip4Mac player <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=windowsmedia >.
    A good addition to your arsenal of media players would also be the stand-alone VLC Media Player <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/>. It's a Swiss Army Knife of media players.
    Hope this helps!

  • Cannot view or play audio or video coded for windows media player, and do not see javascript

    I designed a website that uses a little bit of JavaScript. It displays fine in IE (9), but not in Firefox. Does anyone know why, and what the fix is?
    Also, and more importantly, I coded audio and video files with Windows media player's class id. They will not show or (obviously) play in Firefox. I downloaded and installed the plug in for Firefox, but no change. I'm sure I'm not the only one to have run across this problem, and I'm surprised that Mozilla hasn't built a fix in the 4.0 version. So, any ideas out there?
    Thanks!

    Firefox won't play the media file if there is a classid specified in the object tag. You either need to use conditional code to hide an object without classid for Firefoz from IE or use an embed for Firefox.
    <pre><nowiki><object id="(ID)" type="application/x-oleobject" classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">

  • How can I watch streaming images that are made for Windows Media PLayer on my Mac Mini?

  • How do I find plugin for Windows Media Player in MacPro

    In my previous PowerBook G4 I have been able to access TV newscasts from Europe, in streaming video, especially from Channel France 2. To do this, I have used Microsoft's Windows Media Player 9 for MacOS X, which comes with an asx plugin and it works fine. When I installed WMP in my new MacPro, the plugin was not installed. I queried Microsoft on how to solve this problem and I was informed that Microsoft no longer supports WMP 9 for the Mac and has no plans to upgrade it. Consequently, my alternative could be found in Windows Media Player components for Quicktime by Flip4Mac. This plugin allows you to play Windows Media Player files in the Quiktime player directly. I went to the FlipMac web site and downloaded it only to discover that the existing version will work only for G4s, not Intel Duo Macs.
    Microsoft's media player 9 for the Mac is being used internationally for streaming video.
    Does anyone know of an alternative plugin that would work and where do I find it?

    There is flip for mac and VLC
    http://www.videolan.org
    Give this web site a look see.
    Your solution makes sense. But when I downloaded and installed VLC Media Player for Macintosh, I found that one needs to have a developer's experience to figure out how to make it work. It isn't as simple as Windows Media Player 9 which works easily after you determine Preferences. Video streaming from news outlets is instant. Instructions from videolan on how to use its media player are confusing. Is there a simple way or easy steps to set up VLC to play streaming video from network news outlets with player embedded in their web site? That's all I am interested in. Your thoughts will be much appreciated.

  • Encoding iMovie files for Windows Media Player

    iMovie 11 / 9.0
    Mac OS 10.6.8
    I edit audio/video in iMovie (currently the only program I have) and need to output for streaming on the internet. Most of our subscribers are using older versions of Windows Media Player and as I understand won't be able to play MP4. I couldn't play the MP4 using Windows Media Player 9.0, "invalid format" error.
    What software could I use to convert MP4 to a format for streaming on the internet that our subscribers play using WMP? Should I save the file out of iMovie in a different format to convert?
    I have Adobe Media Encoder 4.2.0.006 but my options are h.264 or flash, got error messages when I tried to "Edit Export Settings".
    Thanks

    The easiest way is to upload video to YouTube and embed videos on your site from there. This way you don't have to worry about which version of Windows, which version of Internet Exlorere, etc.
    Another way, ask your users to install QuickTime For Windows. Then export normally,
    Another way, get one of the paid versions of Flip4Mac, and you can convert files to wmv using QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip or Compressor.

  • Quick time file to be converted for windows media player usage on web site

    i have a quicktime file and need to convert it for usage on a website through windows media player. i have final cut and compressor and can convert it to mpeg 1 and 2. is there a recommended codec or tool i should use for the conversion. the file will probably be viewed through a downlaod versus streaming video...if that matters.
    thanks
    dennis
    G5   Mac OS X (10.3.7)   i have final cut and compressor sw

    Although I dislike MPEG-1 because of the large file size those .mpg files are commonly used on the Web. They can be played by nearly any computer and are not "Player" dependent like WMP or QuickTime so each user can decide how to view them.
    As a bonus they are a "playback" format which makes editing and repurposing them a bit more difficult so your media is a bit more "secure".
    I'll stick to QuickTime formats (avoiding H.264 video codec) and force QuickTime down their WiMPy throats. Millions of PC's have QuickTime installed (because of iTunes) and others can easily download the free Player and browser plug-in. By avoiding H.264 my files can be viewed on Mac's and PC's that can't install QuickTime 7.

  • Share for Windows Media Player? (.wmv)

    I've a client who wants to play my project in Windows Media Player. Any ready-made share templates in FCPX for .wmv? More importantly, any suggestions on file size? Do I output as a Master File and then throw it into Compressor? (In
    which case, I should check into the Compressor Forum.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Re-download and re-install the Flip4Mac component. Once correctly installed, find your Safari application in your Applications folder. Go to "Get Info" and tick the selection which allows your browser to operate under Rosetta. Now launch Safari and surf both mlb.com and espn.com. All the video functionality on those sites will function correctly - I just tested both on my intel box.
    Until such time as Telestream releases a optimized version of their Flip4Mac component, you'll need to launch Safari under Rosetta to view video content streaming WMV. It's not a perfect solution (you'll find it a bit slower vis-a-vis running native), but it's a solid work-around for the time-being.

  • Open video in Windows media player

    The county offers streaming video of meeting of the Board of Supervisors.
    The video requires that it be playing in Windows media player for the Mac.
    When I click on the video link on the County's web site the video opens in what I presume is a dedicated Safari player but the video does not run properly in that player. (The name of the Safari player isn't identified.)
    Is there a way to get Safari to open video files in the Windows media player?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi iBob,
    Yes, I do have Flip4Mac installed. I don't know that Safari (3.2.3) recognizes it. Safari used to display the plug-ins under the Help menu, but now it doesn't on my new Mac Mini.
    Let me issue a challenge--if you are willing.
    1) Go to url: (http://new.mynevadacounty.com/streaming/)
    2) At the bottom of the page there are 3 video links labeled: "video" Click on any one of the three.
    3) Assuming that it will begin to play (on my Mac it opens in an undefined player) you are supposed to be able to jump to any of the agenda items listed in the box in the lower left hand corner of the screen. (Otherwise you have to listen to the entire meeting (lasting over 7 hours) to get to the item.) This option (jumping to the selected agenda item) doesn't work on either of my Macs (Power Book and Mac Mini).
    I would appreciate your feedback.
    Jim
    P.S. According to the County IT department you need:
    1) A G3 or newer with Mac OS X installed.
    2) You also must use Window Media player version 9 or higher or silverlight player.
