Downloading WMV without paying Microsoft for Flip 4 Mac Pro

I am trying desperately to view portions of a several-hour city council meeting that's only supplied in WMV, but I have to pay Microsoft $49 for Flip4Mac viewer pro if I want to skip the streaming and just download the video.
Is there any way (hack) to bypass this? (the city's streaming window won't allow any fast forward or skipping ahead !!!!!!!!!!
Please help.

I don't see why you'd need any of the paid versions of the Flip4Mac codecs to view or download any WMV content. The paid versions give you the ability to import WMV video into QuickTime for conversion to another format such as h.264 (the $29 version) and export a QT movie as WMV (the $49 version). I don't see anything regarding any ability to download a WMV, though it's possible that I've missed something.
Can you post a URL to the video? If it is a true stream, then downloading isn't possible since the video is never completely on your system at any one time. With a true stream, only with a screen capture utility could you get the entire video onto your system. But if you can post the URL, we can take a look and see what options you might have.
Regards.

  • Where to Download/Install 10.9.5 for Late 2013 Mac Pro??

    Hi,
    Looking for a link to download Mavericks, 10.9.5. I'm running 10.10.1 but Avid Media Composer is not qualified for Yosemite yet. I don't have Time Machine back up because of a permissions problem I had that crashed the computer and even Time Machine wouldn't restore it. So right now I'm stuck on 10.10.1 since that is what is automatically installed when doing a fresh install through the recovery menu. Avid is crashing on me all the time and hoping running Mavericks is more stable.
    Thx

    If your Mac originally came with Mavericks, Internet Recovery (Command+Opt+R - wired connection recommended) should allow Mavericks to be re-installed. It should also be listed in your App Store purchases.

    Which version of OS X is installed by OS X Recovery?
    If you use the Recovery System stored on your startup drive to reinstall OS X, it installs the most recent version of OS X previously installed on this computer.
    If you use Internet Recovery to reinstall OS X, it installs the version of OS X that originally came with your computer. After installation is finished, use the Mac App Store to install related updates or later versions of OS X that you have previously purchased.

  • How do I upgrade my MacBook Air with the same IOS as my iMac without paying twice for it?

    Hello! I have a question concerning IOS 7 upgrade for my MacBook Air which I have already on my iMac. Know it must be possible  without paying twice for it, but I have forgotten how? Can anyone help?

    iOS is the operating system for iPhones, iPads, etc.
    Mac OS is the operating system for Mac computers.
    Which version of Mac OS are you running on your iMac? (You're not running iOS6 on it.)
    If you purchased that OS from the app store, then you can download it to as many computers as you own or control (including your Macbook Air). However, if your iMac came preinstalled with the current OS, then the license is only good for that computer and you must buy it for any other computer.

    Was the content not synced with a computer previously?  If it was, simply re-sync with that computer.
    Syncing an iDevice to a new computer will do exactly what you describe above as this is not the way to move content to a new computer.

  • External storage for early 08 mac pro for video storage and editing

    Early 08 Mac Pro mod 3.1, 2x Intel 2.8 Quad Core Processors. Bus speed 1.6 Ghz.  10 GB DDR2 FB-Dimm 800 MHz. USB2, Firewire 400, 800. ATI Radeon HD 2600 PCIe 256 mbVRAM.  Currently running OS 10.6.8.
    I use machine for photo and video storage and editing. I tried using 2x 3TB and 2x1TB HDD internally ( 8 TB total).  All are Seagate Barracuda SATA 7200.  Experienced constant spinning wheel and lockup requiring manual shutdown.  I had upgraded to Lion and to Maverick.  Did not help so I did a clean install of primary with  Snow Leopard and did not install past 10.6.8.  Works now if I don’t exceed 3.5 TB internally.  I also discovered that my Disk Permissions experienced voluminous corruption that could not be repaired if I installed  Java for Mac OS 10.6 Update 17 as suggested each time I check for software updates.
    I need to be able to have a total of about six TBs available in my system for storage and editing of video via Imovie. I don’t know the maximum of HDD storage that can be used in the four internal bays without causing lockup and corruption. If 3.5 TB is about the max, then I would like to have some ability to have external storage via firewire 800 if that would facility fast enough transfer for either video edition and or playback. I don’t know if thunderbolt can be installed via PCI card. I could add a SATA PCI card.  However, I assume that would cause the same problem as experienced with 8 TBs installed internally in the four bays.
    I would appreciate any suggestions.

    Do you mean 2x2TB and 2x3TB for a total internal capacity of 10TBs?  Are you running Snow Leopard or something else? Actually, I took it to an authorized repair facility who ran checks and said nothing is wrong with the hardware.
    Yes, I've got a total of to TB and I'm running Snow Leopard.  If your hardware checks out, that pretty much makes it a software problem,,,  reinstall the OS?
    Does the High Point Technologies SATA3 PCIe connect to eternal drive enclosures or does it somehow connect to drives in some of your four internal bays?
    Highpoint makes several RocketRAID 2700 series SATA3 controllers for Mac with external mini-SAS connectors, probably the cleanest/least expensive external hook-up. They also offer a combo internal/external board that (for marketing reasons) is listed as not working for internals with Mac Pro.  I believe that this is due to pressure from Apple (who apparently does some business with High Point Tech) but to the best of my knowledge it will. Technically, the "not supported" statement is true since all the internal bays are tied to the motherboard SATA 2 controller, but this can be remedied with a special cable.  HOWEVER... the boards are not bootable, so your system disk needs to be on the motherboard controller.
    In truth, I bought one of their 8-port "internal only" boards designated for PC only and flashed it so the Mac Pro sees it as a 2722 board, so I have 8 internal ports.  I'm not recommending you do the same unless you're pretty geeky, but the 2721 would give you half-and-half or the 2722 would give you 8 external with no mods to the board.

  • Suggestion for Apple: MacBooks as terminals for the new Mac Pro

    Suggesting Apple to enable using MacBooks as terminals for the new Mac Pro if connecting through the thunderbolt.
    I am planning to get a new Mac Pro this month and use it as a 'portable' workstation since it weighs only 5kg.
    I am working on scienctific research which requires travels quite often.
    I want to have a workstation with me when I'm off-site so that I can work without worrying about the network connection.
    It would be great if I can use Macbook Air as a display, keyboard and touchpad for the Mac Pro.
    I will be fully geared by taking a Mac Pro and a MacBook Air with me where ever I travel.

    I don't know much about Thunderbold connections.
    Especially how does it combine PICe and DisplayPort signal together.
    I would like the MacBook serve as an external screen and an external PCIe video card to the Mac Pro, together with its touchpad and keyboard connected to the Mac Pro as an external USB keyboard and touchpad.
    In this case, one may not even boot into the OS on the MacBook side, just need proper drivers in the Mac Pro side for the 'external PCIe video card', keyboard and touchpad.

  • Fcpx poorly optimised for the new mac pro?

    'm experiencing low playback performance on fcpx 10.1.2 on my new mac pro:
    I'm on a 8-core, 64GB, d700 (project and files are all on the main drive. Im on the latest maverick update.
    Im working on prores 1080p and adding some effects to a clip and my playback really drops, so far I have been testing a few plugins such as hawaki "auto-split" or coremelts "track & slice X". I instantly need to render the effects to see the results, the funny thing is the same plugins runs smoothly on my macbook retina.. It made me wonder maybe the 3rd party plugin isn't optimised for the new mac pro but then I tried hawaki auto-split on Premiere cc 2014 and I was getting way better results than fcpx..
    This may seem like a trival thing but paying this much money for a product and having a bigger project with different plugins this gets really annoying..
    Anyone else experiencing any issues?

    QX 10 is QuarkXpress  (version 10 - latest version) – a pro publishing/page layout application. Adobe InDesign knocked QX off its throne over a decade ago. Now that Adobe have introduced their subscription model (as opposed to their former purchase upfront model), many pros like me are now looking for alternatives. QX is about the most likely. I'm just doing some homework before I jump (after all it's my livelihood we're talking about here).

  • I download the app but cant find on my mac pro

    I download the facetime app for my new mac pro. It came up on the bottom with the rest of my apps I tried to drag it to my desktop and I can't find it now. Please Help

    It may be that you dragged just the Facetime Icon that was installed in your "Dock" into desktop.  The actual Facetime Application probably is in your Applications folder. So look in your applications folder, and if it is there, try dragging it to your computer's "Dock" where it will leave an icon for easy access.

    HPT Support was responsive and very helpfull using the WEB Portal under the product page.
    I have some comments and a suggestion:
    Have you tried your setup with a SD/CF combo card reader (like the Lexar or Kingston FCR-H63)? Does the card appear on the desktop when first plugged in?
    Did you need to fool around with any kind of power issues in installing this card in the x4 PCIe slot of the MacPro?
    Suggestion. Have you tried one of the fixed in this article to cure the BT issues in MacPro 3,1?
    Good luck.

  • Ati radeon hd 4870 for 1st generation mac pros?

    unfortunately the ati radeon hd 4870 is working for all mac pros except the first generation: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB999ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=NDE4NDMxOA
    are there any other graphics cards that have a mini displayport connector and are compatible with a mac pro first generation?
    thanks for the help!

    The information on the AMD/ATI site actually says the 4870 has lower power requirements than the 3870.
    The PCIe power limit of 300W is the same for the 2008 Mac Pros as the 2007 8-core Clovertown Mac Pro. Power is not an issue. EFI appears not to be an issue either as Rob's tests have shown.
    Can anyone give a logical or technical reason why the 4870 is not being made available to 1st Gen Mac Pros like the 3.0 GHz 8-core. I can't think of anything.
    Surely Apple aren't restricting this cards use in an effort to persuade users to upgrade? Are they?
