How to make .wmv files play in QuickTime Player 7 rather than 10

I have just about had it with QuickTime Player 10 in the Applications folder
and would rather use QuickTime Player 7 in the Utilities folder to play .wmv files.
When I double click on a .wmv file, it opens in QuickTime Player 10 with the
lame floating thing that blocks the view. Where and how can set 10.6.2 to use
QuickTime Player 7 rather than QuickTime Player 10?
The floating thing is really annoying

QuickTime X is very new software and only Snow Leopard users have it
A blurb on the 22-Jan-2010 issue of iClarified
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7303
indicates a soon to be released 10.6.3 update will contain some QuickTime X
enhancements. I hope the enhancement fixes the floating navigation bar that
caused me to revert to QuickTime 7.

  • How to make WMV files open in in Windows Media Player not Flip4Mac/QT

    I just installed Safari 4. With Safari 3 when I clicked on a WMV file on a web site it would automatically open in Windows Media Player. I liked this arrangement just fine. When I installed Safari 4, instead of this happening WMV files started to download instead. I installed Flip4Mac and now they play in QuickTime but I don't like the controls... i.e. I cannot adjust the volume except from the keyboard.
    Is there any way to make WMV files open in Windows Media Player the way they used to in Safari 3 instead of either downloading or opening in QuickTime with Flip4Mac?

    Not very easy but it could be done.
    If the file opens in QuickTime (via Flip4Mac) you can use the Movie Inspector window to "find" the URL. Then open that URL directly in WMP.
    You could also dig through the page source code or use the Safari Activity window to find the URL.

  • No video (only audio) in wmv file played in Quicktime

    This has come up a couple of times recently with wmv files played in QT through Flip4Mac.
    A window [sic] comes up saying "Additional software is required for Quicktime to playback this media. It may be available from the Quicktime Components page." When I click to go to the components page there's a whole raft of different components by different companies but none says anything about the problem I have. Even getting any of those components, let alone installing them, is too confusing to go there. There are very few of these kinds of unplayable (video only) wmv files, so I'm wondering if I should just give up trying to find a solution or if there is something out there that I should try.
    Thanks for any help or advice on this subject.

  • How to export my file to wav on hard-disc rather than burning a CD

    Hi i have tried to figure this out..I guess its looking me straight in the face but here's hoping someone can help!
    I have recorded a talk imported it into WB and have added tracks to make it easier to navigate. I have successfully written it to cd. Now what i really want is to be able to export my wav files to a folder and then import those wav files into my Rimage cd duplicator. It was so easy with audition but am trying to wean myself off the PC and so am trying out Logic/wave burner. Though not perfect i tried to read the files on the cd copy them into a folder..but the files have a cda extension a sort of shortcut file I think. But i cannot get the files (wav) to copy. As i say I would prefer anyway to export direct to the file rather than using the cd as it It leaves open the possibility of file copying problems due to transferring it first onto a cd. Any help would be greatly appreciated ! Thank you Paul

    Hi thanks so much for all your advice. I would have replied earlier but for some reason couldn't logon! Anyway i am in so back to WB...
    Yes my initial request was 2 fold really- though i could have been clearer!
    1/ To export to my hard disc the wav files of the cd project i have created in wb
    2/ When exporting the lets say 1 hour talk - that the exported wav files be separate wav files reflecting the cue files i have placed on the time line in wb. In this way each separate wav file could then be imported into my rimage cd duplicator software to create my cd project. e.g cue1.wav cue2.wav etc
    now in Audition this can be done easily by opening the cue window selecting the cues hitting merge then hitting batch and that's it, all done. In fact i went back to audition to do this ie I exported the wb file imported it to audition that recognised it no problem and then finally exported to wav which is done automatically during the above process.
    I may be missing something , but it looks like this 'slicing' of one long audio file isn't as easily done in wb.... i do want to get off the pc for all this so any further help or perhaps a simple what to do summary would be great. I a aware all the answers could be in your replies already but i am getting into somewhat of a tizzy!! Thanks Paul

  • How to make web shortcuts use icon provided by website rather than default

    I'm a new Mac user, and I find it hard to use web shortcuts on my desktop and dock, because when I drag them from my browser to there, they all get the at sign on a spring icon, rather than the default icon provided by the website, which shows up next to the URL in the browser. Is there some setting that will allow it to use and keep that icon when I drag shortcuts?

    That's a shame. It's so easy when I use my PC with Internet Explorer, I just drag from IE to the desktop, and it uses that icon by default.
    I guess it could be interpreted as a shame that you can not get the favicon to stick to the desktop, different anyway. As Thomas A Reed suggested above, the link itself can receive a custom icon.
    The advantage of creating a folder is other associated +files, receipts and links+ can be included in the stack with the link itself.
    It is a shame the PC with IE cannot add this functionality, for my purpose anyway.

    When opening several PDF files, I find they open up in a new window. Previosuly they opened within the same window.
    I am using Adobe Reader 9

    Thank you for your comments.
    Truthfully, I am shocked that this is the case and even more so that people didn't put up such a stink that Apple had to reinstate the old option. If I had to pick only one, which doesn't seem reasonable at all, I would choose the separate windows of old as opposed to the tabs.
    Thanks again for your help; I was really hoping that I wouldn't be disappointed.

    How to converting WMV files from PC to iPod playable files? thanks for all your help

    I just found this tip on allexperts.com...
    I'm on a windows box at work, so I cant verify the accuracy.
    I have one at home...name escapes me right now...icon is a blue square with 5 black dots (like on a die). It converts audio formats, video formats, extracts audio from video, and will batch process.
    Maybe someone will recognize the desciption and be able to name it.

    heres one on apples site:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/switchfileformatconverterformac.html
    =======
    Tunes will convert wma to mp3 (or acc) format. Here are the instructions:
    To convert a song's file format:
    Choose iTunes > Preferences, then click the Advanced button at the top of the window and click Importing.
    From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
    Select one or more songs in your library, then choose Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3, Convert Selection to AAC, Convert Selection to Apple Lossless, Convert Selection to AIFF, or Convert Selection to WAV. (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences.)
    To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key and choose Advanced > "Convert Selection to," then choose the folder or disk containing the songs you want to convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted except songs you purchased from the iTunes Store. (Purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted.)

  • How to make jar files availabe for deployed EJBs

    Hi,
    I'm interested on how to make jar files availabe for deployed EJBs.
    My EJB is packed in an ear. It uses a util jar. I now just add the jar to the
    classpath, but I think that shouldn't be the way. Is there somthing in the admin
    console to make jars available or do I have to insert it in the ear file? And
    if so, where do I hve to place it?
    Thanks
    Claudia

    Put the util.jar in the ear with your ejb jars - at the same level (i.e. in
    the root) - but do not include them in the manifest.xml.
    Also each ejb jar that refers to util.jar must have util.jar on its internal
    classpath in the manifest.

    How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

    I have the latest adobe creative cloud and i'm using Mac 10.8.2
    My client gave me a wmv file that she wants some people blurred out in the background but when I go to import the media, it's greyed out. I'm assuming that After Effects will be the best solution for this, but maybe there is another way.
    I can purchase a video converter and convert it to .mov but that costs extra money that I don't want to spend just to do this one project.
