Playing wmv files on iMac
Hello, is there a way to playback wmv files on my iMac? Or a recommended app that will take care of that? Thanks!!
Use the free Flip4Mac player. No Mac software will play protected Windows Media content.

why can't i play .wmv file in quicktime even after i download codec from windows? can anyone help me wit this please!!!!!
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? -

Greetings,
If I had any Real Audio files I could tell you.
Try a few different players:
VLC says they have "partial" support: http://www.videolan.org/
MPlayer: http://mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/
Perian: http://perian.en.softonic.com/mac
Hope one of those work for you. -

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.

Any solutions to this? to play wmv files directly on nseries? any apps to do so?

the only work around to play wmv files is to convert it first to a format Nokia player can play, but the problem most convertion software reduced the resolution of the original!
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.

Playing .wmv files on orig iPad
How can i play .wmv files on my orig iPad? Looks like video files with .wmv file types change to QuickTime, but, will not then open and play. Is there a work-around for this? Thanks.
.WMV's are not natively supported, as they are a proprietary Microsoft format.
You will need to download a video player that supports them.
I like avplayerhd, but you can search the app store. -
Cannot play wmv files on BB 8520
When I try and play wmv files on my blackberry curve 8520 it plays the sound but not the video clip. I have removed the battery and replaced it but still does not work. It says that wmv is supported. Anyone got any ideas. Thanks in advance
Hi marcrees and welcome to the forums!
How are you transferring the media files between the PC and the Blackberry?
Are you using Media Manager, MediaSync, or my personal favorite "drag and drop" via MyComputer.
Do you have a media card or are you using device memory?
Also please tell us what version of device OS your are currently running on your 8520.
Click options>scroll to About> it's listed in format: v.X.X.XXX.
You can also open a new message in the message queue and in the body of the message
type myver and press enter. You will get the model number and the device OS level.
Thanks,

They suggest QuickTime Player 7.6.6 -
Hi,
I run Win XP & Surfari. I am trying to get away from running Media Player. I wish to play WMV files in Quicktime players. I do not wish to use a 3rd party player I just want to be able to open the WMV & it runs in Quicktime. I do not not want to go through the hassle of using another program to convert the file I just want to be able to run it in Quicktime. Is this now possible? I have read other posts in the Forum and nobody has answered this question directly they just say convert..... & that is a stupid answer & not satisfactory
Many thanks in advance
PSAgain, QuickTime for windows can't play .wmv or.wma, in this link look to the column on the right, Supported File Formats.

Unable to Play wmv files om Macbook pro
How can I play wmv files on my MacBook pro? I always could play them but recently unable to. I get the message that Flip4Mac must be updated. I try to update but it says it is already updated. Also tried updating Quick player and gert the same reply. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").
