Cant find right media player on Mac for Windows Media Mpeg-4 files

o Must transfer WMP mpeg 4 files via bluetooth to mac
o Have tried DivX converter = "unknown error (-2041)
DivX player = nothing, just blinking pause button
Flip 4mac (WMV) = won't read (won't even make itself available as option for file)
VLC = picture but no sound (yay)
Windows Media Player = won't read (won't even make itself available as option for file)
Quick time = "invalid sample description found in movie"
MPlayer 0SX2 = picture but no sound (yay, and yes volume is turned up on all devices)
It's only a few files stuck on broken Sprint PPC 6700 which I am exchanging for new one but want to preserve a few short home movies. Can't hook up w/ windows pc because that's the part that's broken (cable jack) and must use blue tooth, my windows pc has no blue tooth. Files transfer and play but at best it's just video and no audio.
Am off to store for blank cd to see if I can burn files to disc on mac and a memory card (for phone) for temp back up. But don't know if that will solve problem, just band-aids.
thx

Hi Tanner,
My guess is that 10.4 does not recognize the .sitx format that previously worked on my 10.3
Mac OS X 10.4 no longers comes with StuffIt Expander. You'll need to install that to be able to use .sitx files.

    Hello:
    I'm working with a square pixel wide screen iPad animation video. I built comps in AE and am editing in Premiere. I'm having issues with playback in Windows Media Player. Keyframe interpolation and cross dissolves are causing glitches. My pixel ratio is 872x486 And I want to export from Premiere with better results in WMP.
    Your help with export settings is greatly appreciated.

  • Windows media player with safari for windows

    Hi everyone
    just a little problem of mine...
    safari seems unable to detect windows media player. I get a message about 'content of MIME type application/x-mplayer2' when I safari tries to use media player. I tried installing the plugin on this page http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html which didn't seem to work. I don't know if this is a mistake but the file name suggests the plugin is for firefox...
    i have also tried installing quicktime and realplayer with no effect
    help appreciated; thank you in advance!

    Hi on_safari,
    I don't know if this is a mistake but the file name suggests the plugin is for firefox...
    Safari and Firefox (and other browsers) use the same interface for handling plug-ins so Safari should be able to use it nonetheless.
    I tried installing the plugin on this page http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html which didn't seem to work.
    Can you describe in more detail what you mean? What did you try and what happened? Were any error messages generated?

  • Can't download plug in for windows media player. Have used download site and it says it worked, but plug in is not showing up on my list of plug ins.

    I tried to hear a conference call on a website. Got a message, needed windows media plug in. Checked my plug ins, no windows media. Read tutorial on firefox support. Clicked on download. Got a window that asked for repair or change. Tried repair, then change. Need better directions on how to finish download. Got message download successful, but after closing firefox and reopening, still no plug in for windows media in list of plug ins. Went to site and could not hear conference.
    Read support forum. Message about using about:config. Tried this, typed in about: config in start menu, but didn't see anything that looked like I could change to true like message said.
    solved by opening internet explorer and going to website and listening to conference call on windows media player. There was a message saying click here if you want to enable media player. Did so, heard conference.
    Tried using chrome. Got to hear conference yesterday. Today, there was same message about needing plug in when I tried to follow instructions to get plug in, it was as confusing and useless as firefox. The bottom line is I tried to do everything set forth in firefox's forum suggestions and can't get the windown media plug in to show up in my list of plug ins and can't hear conference calls on firefox.
    Chrome did say they were working on getting plug in available at chrome store.
    I agree with comments that I was able to go to web sites and hear calls before firefox made an update that removed my windows media plug in. The simple download fix, presumeably from windows, does not work, apparently because firefox can't find the fix. That is not the user's fault, and it looks like windows tried to provide a fix, and firefox won't recognize it.
    Bottom line, it is easier to use another browser, than try and get the windows media player plug in installed on firefox. What good is a browser, if you can't hear a call on the website that the browser takes you to? Please make it easy to install the windows media plug in on firefox. Thank you..

    Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
    There apparently are two ways to address this:
    (1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
    This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
    (2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
    Open a Windows Explorer window to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
    Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
    Right-click and paste
    Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
    After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
    ''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Windows Media Player 9.0 for OS X

    This is more of a windows program-mac compatibility, rather than a mac program-windows compatibility (because we all know that everything apple makes is universally compatible, not so for Microsoft, which is why apple ROCKS!) but anyways...got a little sidetracked hehe: Why is it that when I try to download Windows Media Player 9.0 for OS X: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/windowsmediaplayerformacosx.html it downloads as Windows Media.sitx, which is a windows application because it is unable to open it in OS X...isn't it supposed to be FOR OS X? Any help would be great, thank you!

  • I cant find facetime icon in my mac

    i cant find facetime icon in my mac ! wen i try to download facetime for mac app from mac appstore. it says your Mac OS is too new !
    Pls help

    Okay, here ya go, deggie. I appreciate the fact that you conducted the independent experiment. As for the problem, I wish this was a concoction of my imagination.
    My AEX hangs on the wall in my living room; it has a single connection to an amplifier, nothing more. The device is running 7.4.2 firmware, attaches to my network via a cisco Aironet 1242 802.11g radio, and obtains an IP address from the DHCP server on my cisco PIX 501 firewall. The AEX is set to "join a wireless network," uses a 128-bit WEP key, has AirTunes enabled with a friendly name of "Living Room" with no password. All three devices in question (AEX, iTunes PC, and iPad) are on a flat Layer2 network - though the PC is connected through a Polycom SoundPoint IP phone. There are no range issues between the AP and AEX.
    When the iPad kills the connection between iTunes and the AEX, iTunes simply stops playing, and the device name becomes grayed.

  • Since I updated to firefox 5.0, the windows media player plug in for firefox doesnt work anymore :(

    Ok I recently upgraded to firefox 5.0, and then when I went to a website that uses windows media player to watch videos and news reports, it said I needed to download the windows media player plug in for firefox. And yet I had already done that in the past. So it directs me to the plug in for windows media player 11, I download and install and it doesnt work. Website repeats the same message, you need to download plug in. It was working fine with firefox 4.0! I use the OS Windows 7, 64bit. Any help please?

    Yes I did, at first it identified it as already there, so it gave the option of repairing it, etc, so I uninstalled the Windows Media Player, then Installed it again, and it still doesn't seem to work! I have the same problem with several other plug ins, in the add ons and plug in section of Mozilla tools, I see that say, "incompatible with firefox 5.0" but as days go by those add-ons, that are built by those other websites seem to be repairing it, but I wanted to know for something as important as windows media player plug in, am I the only one getting this problem? :/
