Flip4mac(to open Windows media files) version 2.4.4.2 won't work with OS X Yosemite?

Flip4Mac(version 2.4.4.2) won't work to open Windows files on OS X Safari. Do I need to pay for an upgrade?

Upgrade to newer version which is comparable with Yosemite.

  • Safari tries to open Windows Media files using iTunes

    Sometimes when I try to view a Windows Media file on my PowerBook running 10.3.9 instead of the Windows Media player opening to play the file iTunes will open. When that happens I have to force quite iTunes and Safari, locate a WMV file on my hard drive, use the Get Info window to set all WMV files to open using the WMV player. It wouldn't be so bad if I only had to do this once, but I have to do it over and over again from time to time.
    I'm not sure but repairing permissions might be one of the triggers that requires me to redo this, but it might not be necessary for me to repair premissions in order for this to happen. I can fix the problem when it occurs, but it's annoying and a waste of time to have to do it over and over again.
    Has anybody else had this problem? anybody know hot to fix it once and for all? Thanks.

  • Flip4mac not reading windows media files

    When I open Windows media-player files (video) that my company has created, the audio works fine but I get a white space where the video should be. The videos, however, will play, not at high quality, using the ancient Windows player for Mac. Any idea what's wrong?

    Suggest that you re-post over at the Flip4Mac Community Forums

  • Can't open windows media files in my email

    When I click on a Windows Media attatchment (wmv) in my email it does not open up. It makes my Itunes open and nothing happens. I do not want Itunes to open when I try to open a .wmv attatchment. Please help.

    Start -> Control panel - Folder Options.
    Click the tab "File types" and set .wmv to Windows
    Media Player.
    Thank you very much. It worked.

  • Wave vs Windows Media File sizes

    I installed iTunes on my Windows PC. I have a tune on my PC that is a Windows Media File that is 4626 kb. I imported the tune to iTunes and it converted it to Wave Sound and the file size is now 50,665 kb which is more than ten times bigger than the Windows Media file. As a test I then did this with a couple of albums and the same thing happened with all the selections on each album. It seems like I need ten times the disk space when using iTune than when using Windows.
    Can anyone explain what is happening here.
    Thanks
    Ted

    WMF (and MP3 and AAC) is a compressed and lossy format. You lose sound quality.
    WAV is not. A WAV is the same size as the file on a regular audio CD, usually ~35-75 MB.
    When you convert from a lossy format (WMF) to lossless format (WAV) the quality will be the same.
    If you convert between WMF/AAC/MP3, you quality will go down each time.
    When you convert between formats, you should always start off with the best possible quality (WAV or AIFF or CD).
    With iTunes the default format is AAC 128 kbps.
    This is a good compromise between file size and sound quality.
    AAC is a higher quality sound when using the same bitrate as an MP3.
    AAC and MP3 will be very close to the same file size when using the same bitrate.
    However, 128 kbps AAC will sound at least as good as a 160 kbps MP3 and the AAC will be about 2/3 the size.
    I use AAC 160 kbps. I can definitely hear the difference between 128 and 160 kbps AAC.
    If you are importing from CDs, you should use AAC 128 kbps (but I recommend 160 kbps).
    Open iTunes prefs -> Advanced -> Importing.
    This is where you can change the Import settings.

  • Latest version of Safari won't work with my version of OS.

    I downloaded the latest version of Safari but it won't work with my version of OS (10.6.8). ***! It's pretty frustrating that my computer allowed me to download it without noticing it's not compatible--seems like a simple enough concept to check for that BEFORE effing someone up entirely.
    How do i revert back to the old version of Safari? I was using Chrome but it's become impossibly slow.
    Thanks!

    When you click on the proxy icon for an asset, does the "Search All Jobs" view show a "downloading" message indicating that the proxy is being transferred to your local machine?
    Also, what specific software versions (Quicktime and FCS) are you working with?

  • .wmv files opening Windows Media Player

    I put simple links on my web pages to allow visitors to load
    wmv format videos on their pcs. I do not want the video starting
    automatically with any player, I just want the "save to" window
    opening at the click on the links. Actually this is working with
    Firefox but not with Explorer. What do I have to do to avoid the
    videos opening automatically in Explorer ? Thanks

    Two options:
    1) Zip the media file/s. When visitor clicks on a link to a
    zipped file or
    folder, it will download.
    2) Use a force-download script in a language supported by
    your server. The
    following link is to one in php.

  • How do I export into a windows media file ?

    I've been working on a project that requires both a quicktime and a windows media ( and /or real player) file to be made, so as to post on a website. I've got the quicktime file made, but what do I choose for a windows media file? - what options should I choose in export to make this happen?
    I'm on FCP 5.1
    and am using quicktime 7
    thanks!

    You need Flip4mac (the studio version ~$49US) to export windows media.
    It does a great job.
    good luck.

  • Converting a FCP sequence to Windows Media File - please help!

    Hi fellow mac users, please help if you can would mean the world to me! I'm trying to export an edited sequence (32mins in length) from FCP 5 using Quicktime conversion to a Windows Media File. Although I'm able to launch the process successfully, it just seems to convert the very first minute or two and not the entire thing! I'm not well versed in these technical issues, so have no clue how to figure this out. I've even tried in vain to compress the sequence first, import into FCP and then try to export as WM but no luck. My boss is away and client is pushing and I'm stressing!
    So if you can help, that would be fantastic!
    many thanks in advance.

    Cleaner and Sorenson are huge and complex transcoders. You just need time and a credit card to download and then lots of time to experiment and figure out the quirks of each application. You do not have this time. Telestream offers a competitor called Episode. it's cool.
    Get the full version of telestream's flip4Mac (if it was installed properly you can do this with a click on the system prerf panel for flip4mac). You will need a credit card. Be prepared for a very long transcode to WMP, even on a big Macintosh. I don't think you have the time for any of this nonsense.

  • Exporting my movie to Windows Media File

    I am trying to export a thirty second movie to a Windows Media file in Final Cut Express. However, every time I export it, it only does the first 14 seconds and I do not know why. My in and out points on the timeline are at the beginning and end of the 30 second clip. I have no other idea what could be causing the problem. Help!

    You are using a demo version of the Flip4Mac plugin which only exports half of your clip, up to a maximum of 30 seconds.
    To do the entire clip you will need to purchase the software.

  • Export a Windows Media File

    For some reason, I can only export the first half of my 30 second commercial to a Windows Media file. Odd. I really have no idea why it's doing this. Any suggestions?
    AE CS3, working on a MAC
    Heck if I'm missing it in the render Q options let me know.

    There is technically no need to buy anything than one single Windows licence. No need for AE or other tools. Windows Movie Maker is free, Windows Media Encoder Basic is free and so is VirtualDub and several other tools that can output AVIs in a plethora of CoDecs and WMVs. All you have to do is get an AVI or MOV over to the Windows world... The question however is, how frequently you have to do this and if it is worth spending an afternoon with Bootcamp and a Windows install. You might quite well get happy with Flip4Mac Basic, which is a mere 99 bucks if I recall correctly. Things only get dicy if you need more advanced features of the more expensive Pro version. In addition, there's always the risk of something looking perfect on OSX and the client still ending up with an unusable file if you have no way of checking them on the native OS.

  • Exporting to Windows Media file

    I am using FCE 3.5, I am trying to export my project as a Windows Media file. Problem is, my project is 5 minutes long and it is only exporting the first 29 seconds. When I export as .mov file I get the whole 5 minutes, just can't do it for Windows Media file. Anyone know why this may be? Help please.
    I have tried making sure in and out points are at beginning and end of project, I have also selected all clips before choosing to export.

    Anyone know why this may be?
    Because a trial version of Flip4Mac is powering the conversion. You need to purchase Flip4Mac WMV Studio to create a longer Windows Media file.
    If it looks like QuickTime's powering it, it's not.

  • Can no longer play windows media files

    I recently upgraded to version 10.6.8 of Mac OS X and I can no longer play embedded Windows Media files using Flip4Mac (version 2.3.8.1) on Safari or FireFox. Any suggestions on a workaround?

    You might need to reinstall it, have you tried that?

  • Noob question on windows media files not importing

    I gather I can't get these files into iMovie without converting them? Is there any freeware app to do this? I tried opening them with QT and got the message "The movie could not be opened. It is not a movie file."
    They have the extension .ASF; "get info" tells me they are windows media files; they came from a POS Aiptek DV4500 (no, I don't do video much; this is a kid event at school that I'd like to see)
    Sorry; I'm sure the answer is in the forum somewhere but I couldn't find it several pages into my search.

    thanks -- flip4mac isn't free, though, at least for converting windows files, from what I can tell from the site. and the VLC software appears to just be a viewer; no importing.
    so again, is there any freeware? or am i forced to pay $$ to see these files?
    if that's the case, i'll just go back to my cruddy ol' XP laptop, because, again, i stress, i'm not gonna be doing this but maybe once a year....

  • Windows Media file write failure

    Help, I'm using a Gateway computer with Windows XP Professional OS, version 2002 and Service Pack3. It has Intel Core CPU, 6600 @ 2.40GHz, 2.41 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM. I have both Premiere Pro CS3 and CS4 installed. There's 54.1 GB of free space on my Hard Drive with 94.9 GB used.
    I used to create .wmv files without issue with CS3 but with CS4 there's a failure every time. The project exports to Media Encoder and Encoder goes through all of the process and even looks like it finishes up. But once it gets to the end, here's the message I get.
    Windows Delayed Write Failed
    Windows was unable to save all the Data for (my file) The Data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save file elsewhere.
    It also had this message in separate window:
    Adobe Media Encoder Debug Event
    Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an error.
    [..\..\src\Batch.cpp-186]
    I tried changing all of the variables I could in the Media Encoder for creating a Windows Media File. For ex. you can choose several presets: "NTSC source to high quality download" "NTSC Source to Download 1024kbps " and several others. I haven't tried changing anything on the Filters, Audiences, Video, Audio or Others tabs. I never had to with CS3. Plus I don't know much about the Codec for Video or Audio.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Rick,
    WMV is a very intense CODEC to work with. It requires power and time on either end - decoding or encoding. My guess would be that the throughput of the USB 2.0 connection just cannot keep up with that processing, where many other formats/CODEC's are easier to work with.
    As for the minimum requirements, we find that they are horribly light. To lift from Monty Python, "we blow our noses in their general direction." They are provided to tell a user what it takes to install and launch the program, but when it comes to using said program - well, that is usually another matter.
    If you have a desktop, and it has room in the case, you can most likely just add two more (2x is about the true min., and 3x is better) physical HDD's, of the controller type as your C:\. Depending on the MoBo, you probably have a SATA controller, and could add up to 3 additional drives, for basically the price of the drive, some cables, if not supplied, and a few screws. Most cases have the necessary mounting, or cages, for additional drives. Note the words "most," "probably," etc., as nothing in the PC world is created equal.
    Were I making the request, I'd propose adding 2 more HDD's, at 7200 RPM and of the same controller type as your C:\. I'd ask for a minimum size of 500GB, but shoot for 1TB for each. Do not know if you have a Fry's Electronics near you (they are a Western US retailer), but they constantly have at least one such HDD on sale per week, and at very good prices.
    Ignore SCSI. It's good and fast, but the drives are limited in size and the $/GB is not high. A RAID 0 array would be good for the media drive (actually it would be 2 HDD's), but to really benefit, one would do best with a hardware managed RAID, and most RAID controllers on MoBo's leave something to be desired. Harm makes recommendations for dedicated hardware RAID, but then you are talking having to do a real "dog & pony" show for you CFO, or Controller!
    Maybe Harm has some suggestions, considering that you are on a city's budget.
    Good luck, and glad that things are working for you. Think about relegating that USB 2.0 external to archiving Assets.
