Flip-4-mac watermark threat

While exporting a FCE-HD project to quicktime movie, out of the blue, an alert box covered the progress box. Message was that Flip-4-Mac was applying a watermark and to remove it they wanted me to agree to a $30 downloaded pro version.  It has been at least a year since I looked at a wmv, let alone used one.
The project exporting was shot with a Nikon, with sounds from Apple loops. What's up?

I'd consider getting rid of F4M if you think you don't need it. If the project stops playing correctly after uninstalling it you know the media is relying on it
somewhere. You can always reinstall it. I'd be tempted to remove the wmv files from the media folder too.
I think .mov can also contain wmv as a codec, you may want to check the actual encoding settings, you could still be using wmv inside a mov

  • Quicktime pro and flip 4 mac

    Every time I try to export a movie in QuickTime (Pro), in various formants, Flip 4 Mac comes up and says it will put a watermark on the movie unless I buy the Flip4Mac pro.
    Thanks

    If your source file is in WMP format or your export option is to WMP formats then you are working using the "trial mode" of the Flip4Mac software.
    You must purchase one of the upgrades to that third party software to complete your task.

  • Does OS Lion need flip for mac

    new IMAC OS LIon 10.7.3  - can't seem to find out if it needs 'flip for mac'?

    Only if you wish to view .wmv files, otherwise it's not really needed.

  • Flip 4 Mac no video

    I have installed, including upgrades, appropriate for OSX 10.9.1 - I get audio and a black screen - no video - also the every five-second message "this is a demonstration of Flip 4 Mac." 

    Update to 10.5.6. Install the combo update instead of using Software Update.
    Repair permissions prior to installing the os. Repair permissions and restart your computer after the os installation.
    It is better to stick with one posting on the same problem. This will cut down on the confusion for the people trying to help you in figuring out what you have already tried and previously posted.

  • Ouicktime 7.5 not working with Flip 4 Mac.

    I upgraded QT to 7.5 and now my QT plays the audio but no picture when running streaming WMV files. I checked with Flip 4 Mac but they said its a Quicktime issue.I'm running the latest version of flip 4 mac (2.2.0.49R). Anyone have the fix to this problem?

    Welcome to the forums Bigbadcudah.
    This won't help you, but just for the record, I have not noticed any problems at all with QT 7.5 or for that matter Flip4Mac and playing WMV files, and we are using the same OS.
    It might be worth your while checking the following for updated components:
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.1, QT 7.3, 7.4 and 7.4.5 and OS 10.4.11.
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.11 and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from (you may need a different site for the US):
    http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
    In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-003. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
    There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
    On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
    On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
    And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
    http://silverlight.net/
    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
    http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
    FOOTNOTE
    If you are running Leopard:
    Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

  • Flip 4 mac, QT, Windows midea player, which one?

    Hi, I have the latest QT and VLC, I got VLC to view .wmv files, but it turns out it wont play them as they are .wmv3 file, i'm now looking at downloading flip 4 mac (new intel vertion) or windows meda player, but the thing is, where will it end? is there a do all application that can play nearly every thing or do i have to have 3 different ones, just incase????? any help would be awesome, cheers.
    John-boy007

    You probably want Flip 4 Mac as Windows Media Player is not an application built to utilize the Intel chip (or universal as they say).
    Sorry, I don't know of a play all formats Media Player.

  • Flip 4 Mac issues

    I recently downloaded an update of Flip 4 Mac. Before this, I always used to see the video image in the body of the email and could just hit the play button. Now I only see the volume bar and I have to click on the paper clip to see the .wmv file. Am I missing something here with some sort of setting? Or is there a better program to use?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Quicktime & Flip 4 Mac

    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, every time I try to open a wvm file that I have not opened before on my computer, Flip 4 Mac tells me that Quicktime must be installed in order for it to work. If I click "open with" and choose quicktime, everything works fine. I have the latest version of flip 4 mac and of course, Quicktime X. Does anyone know of a way for flip 4 mac to recognize quicktime being installed?

    Yes - next time you need to choose 'Open with…', do it from the Info window of the file in question (Command-I) & click on the 'Change All' button. After that, you won't need to tell it again — it will always open WMV files in QT.

  • FLIP 4 MAC and QUICKTIME problem

  • Lost Media Player and Flip 4 Mac

    Hey there,
    I installed Flip 4 Mac and now I can't watch streaming video content that requires WIndows Media Player. Flip 4 Mac popped up but would not play the footage. I still have Media Player installed. I uninstalled Flip 4 Mac but I still can't watch my surf news from ASP World Tour events.
    How can I reverse the situation and get Media Player as my default streamer?

    If your source file is in WMP format or your export option is to WMP formats then you are working using the "trial mode" of the Flip4Mac software.

  • Transcribing WMA tapes and Flip for Mac message?

    After a recent upgrade to 10.9 I have had a repetitive message overlaid when I transcribe WMA tapes from a DSS player: 'this is a demonstration of Flip for Mac.' It seems to come and go though, this morning it repeated throughout a whole transcription, then when I replayed the tape the message had disappeared, but played over a tape I transcribed yesterday which was message free.
    As I recall as part of the installation of the system upgrade I was asked to remove Flip for Mac and the install it again, but that is a bit hazy.
    I have spoken with Olympus and upgraded their software for my recordning machine.
    Do I need to use Flip for Mac at all and is that a change introduced by Apple in the last system update? It is making the daily job I do of transcribing more than a little frsutrating.

    Are these tracks copy-protected (they almost certainly will be if they were purchased from a download store)? If so, then there's no way to play them in Mac OS X.

  • MBP Won't Play WMV Files With Flip 4 Mac?

    Hi all!
    Just wondering if you could give me an idea as to why I might be having troubles playing .wmv files even though I have installed Flip 4 Mac? I have uninstalled F4M and reinstalled it, but still no joy! It's pretty important that I am able to play wmvs, for work, so any help would be extremely helpful!
    Cheers...
    ML

    Hi,
    I've never used this application before but I might know something that will fix it.
    ~/Library/Preferences/ and find the Flip4Mac file and delete it. Since I don't have it, I won't be able to tell you what it's called so you will either have to search through and find it or you will have to search the preference folder for it. It will be a .plist file. Just delete the file.

  • No Audio with Flip for Mac, MIDI Settings Seem OK

    Hello,
    I am using Flip for Mac to stream Windows content. On most sites (You Tube etc.) it seems OK. On some however, the video plays fine, but there is no audio.
    Since the video streams fine, I assume it is not a DRM issue. The MIDI Audio Input is set at 44100Hz. The MIDI Audio Output window says 'Output is not supported.' I only use the internal speakers and don't have any external ones connected to perhaps the MIDI Output is irrelevant.
    But, is this more of a QuickTime7.2 compatability issue? I am only running a lower version of Flip for Mac, none of the 'Pro' upgrades so did not think it would be an issue. Are there any other common settings one should double check?
    Many thanks.

    Hi DG!
    No, not a DRM issue, and you have set the midi-player settings correctly. For the full nine yards, try this:
    These are the downloads and the setup you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything:
    Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    Now repair permissions and restart.
    The world should now be your oyster!
