Can't open .wmv in browser

I can't open the video on this URL: http://www.scottmcleod.org/didyouknow.wmv The audio works, but no video. The quickTime Player screen appears but stays white. I have reinstalled QuickTime Player and the MPEG-2 utility.
eMac 1.25 GHz Power PC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 768 MB RAM, Superdrive

The quickTime Player screen appears but stays white. I have reinstalled QuickTime Player and the MPEG-2 utility.The video is MSS2 which appears to be a WMV 9 advanced codec. Flip4Mac, VLC, and FFmpegX don't seem to support it. If you really have to have this file, suggest you see if you can convert it on a Windows platform to a QT compatible format.

Can't open WMV files in Quicktime since Snow Lep upgrade.....

I Can't open WMV files in Quicktime since Snow Leopard upgrade
I get an error message saying 'Quicktime player must be installed to run this application'
This is happening on both of my macs
Any help appreciated

I had this problem. Double clicking the WMV file produced the message you had. However, if I open by dragging the WMV file onto the QuickTime X icon in the dock it did indeed open.
I then looked at the WMV's Get Info window and found that it was set to open in WMV Player by default. Obviously I do not have WMV Player installed. The drop down menu on this setting did have QT Player as the other option. When I changed the option to QT Player as default the "Change All" button became active. Previously it had been greyed out. Things have been OK since, but I have not tried it on any new WMV files.

Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

Can't open .wmv extension

How can you open .wmv....???
Thanks..

Hello Gene.
You need the Windows Media Player for Mac OS X.

How can I open .wmv files in a browser on my MacBook Pro?

I know that a person that owns a Mac can open .wmv files in third-party programs such as Flip 4 Mac (Flip Player), but is it possible to open .wmv files in a browser?
Thanks,
Karen

You may open word processing documents using Apple's Pages. Numbers may open spreadsheets. Nothing appears to open databases, however.
If you have access to an older system that runs AW6, then you can export your documents to a compatible format for newer applications.

macfriedchikkin's reply would make sense to you if you were trying to open a camera, but if you are trying to view streming media from a web site that is a different story. It helps to be very specific about what you are tyring to do on these forums.
I belive you would go into Firefox Preferences menu and tell it to use VLC as the application to play WMV files. I'm still running Tiger, however, so I can't tell you if it the latest version works wel that way. The Tiger version doesn't seem to, but a lot may have changed since then. (I'm only just getting around to installing Leopard next week now that there are too may apps I can't run on Tiger. ) Perhaps someone else on this forum can better help you set up the player in your browser.
Or you can cut out the middleman and give VLC the direct video URL:
Choose Open File from the File menu and paste in the URL of the video, say,
http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-1
or http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-2
Your media should play this way. Dont forget to save the playlist for later.
I'l keep investigating on my end, and yes, I'm also encouraging certain people who are streaming windows media in to switching to a different format

How can I open a new browser window!!! Very Challenging!!!

I have a form (name=MAIN) with a submit button (name=Button A). Button A opens a new browser window (name=SEARCH), via an HTML form target tag (<FORM TARGET=A>). Window SEARCH has multiple submit buttons (10-15). Each button has a different action which is handled by a servlet (form name and button name are passed to a servlet as a hidden field in the form to determine the action), which is setup to be an action handler. When a button in the SEARCH window is clicked the results are retrieved from an Oracle database and should be displayed in the text fields in window MAIN.
For example, some results may be displayed in window SEARCH (_self) and and other results may be required to be sent to window MAIN depending on the button clicked.
How can I setup window SEARCH so each button can have a different target window (some may be window MAIN or other windows)? Using a form tag for each button doesn't give desirable results. Is there a way to do this with JSP or some form of Java code?
A form tag can only have one target. Basically I have one form with multiple submit buttons. How can I get it to send each submit buttons results to a specific window?
Thanks.


<script language="JavaScript1.2">
function mysubmit(mytarget){
document.myform.target=mytarget;
document.myform.submit();
function validation(myform){
//validation stuff
return [true | false];
</script>
<form target='none' name='myform' action='myaction.jsp' method='post' [onsubmit='return validation(this)']>
<input type=button name='submit1' value='submit1' onclick='mysubmit("target1")'>
<input type=button name='submit2' value='submit2' onclick='mysubmit("target2")'>
<input type=button name='submit3' value='submit3' onclick='mysubmit("target3")'>
<input type=button name='submit4' value='submit4' onclick='mysubmit("target4")'>
</form>

Can't open .wmv files in Quicktime after archive and reinstall of OS

After recently archiving/reinstalling OS, I can no longer open .wmv files in Quicktime. "The movie could not be opened". "The file is not a movie file" is the error. This applies to newly downloaded as well as previously downloaded and played files. Qtime version is 7.6.4. Changing extension to .mov doesn't work. Any assistance appreciated.

Reinstall Flip4Mac.

Can't open WMV files in Quicktime. How can I reinstall Quicktime?

For some reason I am unable to open WMV files in Quicktime even though I have Flip4Mac Player Pro (WMV files played fine in Quicktime until recently).
ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Quicktime X is a great little piece of software. However, Quicktime X is very finicky on which codec/file format it can decode/play.
Luckily, there are DOZENS of alternative video/media players and extensions available for the Mac. Some of them are even FREE. Some of the better FREE ones include...
PERIAN (quicktime extension)
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22923/perian
QUICKTIME 7.6.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
VLC Media Player
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5758/vlc-media-player
NICEPLAYER
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15136/niceplayer
... And if none of those work, there is a possibility that, that video file may be corrupted.

Can't open .WMV files

After years of using QuickTime with Flip4Mac to open .WMV files, suddenly it won't work. Not sure if this is a QuickTime or Flip4Mac issue, but thought I'd post here first. I have the most current version of both apps. FWIW, the only thing I've done recently (since last successfully viewing a .WMV file) is install 10.6.2, which shouldn't be the culprit or it would be headlined all over the internet. Here's what I get when trying to open a .WMV file:
"The document “xxxxxx.wmv” could not be opened"
Thanks for any suggestions.

Unfortunately, the latest version of QuickTime does not have the ability to export using third-party plug-ins, however Apple has made QuickTime 7 available to install alongside QuickTime X. You can install it from the Snow Leopard install disk or by running a Quartz (*.qtz) file.
QuickTime 7 will install to your Applications/Utilities folder.

Can't open PDFs in browser

Hello!
My Mac can't open PDFs in the browser window anymore, but just offers a download dialogue.
I already read in the forum, that it may help, to open the Acrobat Reader prefs and uncheck the "open PDF in browser window" option. The problem is though, that this option is greyed out, so I can' t uncheck it.
And: As for me I don't need to open the PDFs using the Adobe plug in.
I just want to see the PDFs quick and simple.
Any ideas gladly appreciated!
Thomas

Remove the plugin from HD>Library>Internet Plugins.

Can't Open WMV - linked files in Safari

I have a problem opening wmv content on webpages. I have windows media player installed on my Mac, however, when I go to a page with WMV content, it either a: does not open at all or b: crashes Safari. I haven't installed flip4mac or any other 3rd party software. Can someone help?

Hello Oliver:
You might try downloading the latest flavor of Windows Media Player for the Mac:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=windowsmedia
If you have it installed, I would delete it and the preference file (com.microsoft.mediaplayer.plist). In fact, I would trash the plist first, restart, and see if that corrects the problem.
