    Have you done the obvious things to try to fix it: quit Quicktime then start it back up again, log out then back in, reboot.
    Edit: Just read one of your later posts. If VLC won't play it, this is unrelated to Quicktime and Flip4Mac. Are you sure these wmv files are okay?

  • Why won't Quicktime 7.4.1 play .wmv files when Windows Media Player will?

    I am running OS 10.4.11 on a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver 2002. When I try to play .wmv files, the following message appears: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." However, I can play such files using Windows Media Player. I have installed Quicktime 7.4.1. That hasn't helped.

    Thanks for the suggestions, but I already had Flip4Mac installed. However, I re-installed it, but I get the same disappointing message when I try to open .wmv files from Flip4Mac's "Quicktime Player." Perian doesn't work either. At http://lifehacker.com/software/quicktime/download-of-the-day-perian-mac-204423.p hp I read the following: Perian is a freeware plug-in designed to enable the playback of almost every popular video codec in Quicktime.
    In fact, pretty much the only major codec not supported by Perian is Windows Media Video files (WMV), but previously-mentioned Flip4Mac should take care of your WMV needs.
    I'd appreciate additional comments and suggestions.

  • 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.

  • HT3775 can't play wmv file on quicktime?

    I can't play .wmv files on quicktime.  I installed both QuickTime MPEG2 and Flip4Mac WMV hoping that this would solve the problem but it did not.  When trying to play any audio .wmv file I get an error box stating "the document (filename).wmv could not be opened.  The movie is not in a format the QuickTime Player understands.  You may need to install additional software to open this type of file".  Anyone know what I might need here?

    Hmm, Perian should provide flv playback in Quicktime. Maybe you need to update Perian? I used to always use Perian but since upgrading to Lion I have not installed it and now rely on VLC for non-apple standard media playback. Deluxe can handle the flv-format.It will convert flv to mov. Hope it helps

  • Playing wmv files in Quicktime Pro

    I really want to play wmv files in quicktime. I read that quicktime pro should be able to do so. I have quicktime pro but nether Quicktime Player X or Quicktime 7 Pro can open it, and I know the file isn't corrupted cause it plays on a windows computer. Please help

    You need to install Flip4Mac to play unprotected WMV files. WMV content which contains DRM can't be played in Mac OS X.

    This is INCORRECT. Most encoders can be set to keep the resolution and quality of the source video. The only limitation is what the Phones support. If you have a DVD video it can't play because DVD resolution is not supported by the devices.
    N93, N93i, N95 supports up to VGA in MPEG4, QVGA in h264 (MPEG4 AVC)
    N92 supports up to VGA in MPEG4
    Most other Nseries support QVGA MPEG4 and may support also QVGA h264.
