Is there a plug-in to play ASF files?

New Mac user here... Is it possible to get a plug-in to play ASF files in Safari? Or I'll even download Firefox if necessary. There are a lot of great videos at Discovery Streaming, but they are all in ASF format. Any help is greatly appreciated.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
That's a Microsoft encoder...
Try the information here regarding Windows Media.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2223542
I'm pretty sure the Windows Media Player for Mac will do the job.
If your profile is correct, update your system software to 10.5.8. You can use the v10.5.8 Combo Update
You're new to Mac ... anytime you update system software or install new software, make sure and repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Problem playing asf file on Win7

Hello!
I have Oracle Beehive 2.0.1.7.
There is no way to reproduce the recorded online-conference (asf) file by using the standard for Win7 player (version 12.0.7601.17514).
Installed Oracle Beehive Conferencing Codecs 2.0 from Oracle Beehive Download Center.
1. Can anyone explain why?
2. Is there any solution for this issue?
3. Which player (or Codecs) should be used to play asf files under Win7 SP1?
Happy New Year.
Dmitry.

Thank you, Zach!
Your link, which gives explanations and "workaround" helped me.
It works on Win7 32-bit.
On 64-bit no.
Perhaps the fact that I'm trying to decide this issue "clogged" the computer, different codecs and now Oracle Beehive Codec not registered Windows Media Player.
I will investigate.
Sincerely,
Dmitry.

Is there a plug-in to view swf. files?

Is there a plug-in for mac QT that allows viewing swf. files? I am a teacher and I want to be able to embed swf. files into powerpoint, which means I need QT to be able to read swf. I can find full apps that will do it, but it has to be QT to work in powerpoint since it uses QT as its engine.

Kirkster, give the security concern a break, you' ve posted this repeatedly, In the old Windows forum. No media player puts you at such a risk as QuickTime and iTunes do. If Mac computers can't play the files it's a problem with Apple

Playing .asf Files with Quicktime?

I have downloaded some video files, but they are .asf files, which are played with Microsoft Windows Media Player. Is there a way I can play these and possibly convert them with Quicktime? I am using QT Pro 7.0.3. I am currently using Flip4mac to open wmv files with Quicktime, but it doesn't work for asf files. Can anyone help?

You could probably use SnapzPro X2 ( http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ ) to capture the clips as they play on your desktop.

Is there a plug-in to open WMF files in Photoshop CS2?

Have been opening my WMF files in another program and converting them to a friendlier format which is a pain. Is there a plug-in or something that will allow me to open WMF in Photoship CS2? I can view them in Bridge but that's all.

Here is a Batch Converter, that might work for you. Do not know about a plug-in.
Good luck,

HELP! can't play .asf files

i have a macbook pro. i cant seem to play a video clip that i have, which happens to be a .asf file. it plays the audio, but but no video. whenever i try to open it, it says that additional things r needed and leads me to the quicktime page online. im assuming its a codec issue, but i dont know what i need. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

The file with the .asf extension was encoded for Windows Media Player. You must have flip4mac installed as it can play most WMP files inside QuickTime Player.
Most. Not all can be viewed on our Macs.

How to play asf files on Mac OS X 10.9.1

VLC player gives me the audio but no video.
It pops up this error message when i paly .asf fles "VLC player doestnot support audio or video form G2M3",Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix it".
These are some recorded class sessions in asf format,which I need to go through and learn.
Also, tried few asf converters but most of them won't allow large files.Most of my files are 100MB and more.
Looking for some suggestions...Thank you !

As the owner of the G2M3 codec, Citrix (makers of the gotomeeting products) will be in a better position to help you resolve your problem than anybody here.

Is there a new mechanism to play mp3 file in Flex4?

Hi All,
I am using the Flex 3 mp3 player, trying to load mp3 songs and having trouble canceling the file loading in case this is a big file (10Mg) and the user has pressed 'cancel'.
The user would expect that the mp3 file loading will stop, but in the network monitor i still see the file is beeing loaded.
Is there a way to solve this? Is there a new mp3 mechanism in Flex4?
Thanks in advance,
Lior

Hi,
Compile this and see if it works for you, the mp3 is 6mb. the label shows the bytes being downloaded, as soon as you press stop the download is stopped. This shows in the progressevent, also it will continue to play becuase of the buffer but it will stop playing at the point where the close() was called.

Quicktime will not play .mov files since Lion installation

When using Quicktime 10.6, I am receiving the error message "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." when attempting to open .mov files. Prior to installing OS X Lion, there were no issues with playing .mov files.

I'm having the same problem. Using a clean install of Mac OS X (10.7) Lion and QuickTime 10.1.
If I go to finder:
I can click on Icon's Play arrow and the Movie will play in the icon.
I can click on the file icon and press the spacebar and the file will play in QuickLook.
If I doubleclick on the icon to open the file in QuickTime, I get the "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." message.
If I right click on the icon and click open with... QuickTime, I get the "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." message.
MBP, Mac OS X (10.7)
