.wmv file play like streaming files in Quicktime.

I have downloaded some .wmv files, and tried to play them in both Version 10 and the Quicktime 7 Pro utility. I'm on an iMac using operating system 10.6.5 and I have flip4mac installed. The movies open, but seem to be streaming from the internet, and cannot be fast forwarded or edited. I have looked in the Quicktime and flip4mac preferences, but there doesn't seem to be any settings that address this. Help!

The movies open, but seem to be streaming from the internet, and cannot be fast forwarded or edited.
If by this you mean the file opens and the playhead starts moving but the "progress bar" is still cacheing data, then this is normal if the data in in an WMV file container. QT has to partially decompress the data for playback/use. If you want to avoid thios delay, you can save the data in its partially decompressed format to an MOV file but it will take up more hard drive space than the WMV file version. If you allow the file to decompress or load the MOV version and you still can't "scrub" or FF the playhead, then you may have a problem. As to editing/converting the file, as Limnos points out, the free Flip4Mac "Playback" component does not allow you to do any real editing or converting of the content and you would have to purchase one of the decoder, bidirectional or advanced codec packages to do this.

Streaming .wmv files not working

When I go to stream .wmv file from the website I use to access school lectures, I get an error message from what looks like Flip4mac saying "QuickTime Player must be installed to run this application". In an attempt to resolve this I reinstalled Flip4mac 2.2.3.7. This still did not work. Does anyone have any ideas?

Here is what I read from Flip-4-Mac web site. You need to install Quicktime 7 from your install disc for this to work. Then reinstall Flip-4-Mac again.
Repair Permissions and restart your computer.
JeffSp8, going to the finder and getting info...then choosing Quicktime won't force the browser to play the video. This only work for videos playing locally from the hard drive.

Cannot get audio from streamed .WMV files

Up until a week ago I had no trouble seeing & hearing CNN's streaming video. As of about 3 days ago, the audio is gone. The only changes to the system (15" PB with 10.4.2) have been the Graphics Update and the recent Security Update (which postdates the problem).
Repairing Permissions made no difference, reinstalling Windows Media Player ditto. Is there any way to change the plugin that opens .WMV files? I recently bought and installed (Long before this issue) WMV Player, which allows running .WMV files in Quicktime and wonder whether it would have better luck.
Help?

Hi:
How can I edit MPEG or convert DVD or MPEG to DV
http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/%7Eshmhav/SVCDon_a_Macintosh.html#edit_convertMPEG
Matti says it better than any of us:
how/where you can join clips with Streamclip
Also MPEG Streamclip guide explains it.
MPEG Streamclip can join similar MPEG files: The joined files must have the same PIDs, the same start codes, and the same audio/video properties (that is, they must come from the same source or channel).
Using "Convert to MPEG" before joining the files can be helpful, because it changes PIDs and start codes to a default value. The preferred method to join streams is to Copy one stream in MPEG Streamclip, open another stream and Paste it there. This method checks that the joined streams indeed are compatible. Another method is to put the MPEGs in the same folder, and rename them so that they sort as desired in list view. Then select them via MPEG Streamclip's "File/Open Files..." dialog box (Shift- or Command-click to select multiple MPEGs). Then choose "Edit/Fix Timecode Breaks". After this MPEG Streamclip should report the combined length of all MPEGs (check the Log Window if you want to know whether any timecode breaks were found). Then choose "File/Convert to MPEG... or /Save As..." to save them in a single file. If the video transition between two files looks bad, you can use the Cut command to improve it. You can join very different and incompatible MPEGs with this latter method so the end result is not guaranteed to work.
MPEG Streamclip can also edit MPEG files. Just set In/Out points (with I/O keys), Cut unwanted material off and choose "File/Convert to MPEG...". You can also Cut/Copy selections to other parts of the same stream or open another compatible stream and Paste it there. Shift-dragging the playhead can also be used to define a selection. Option + arrow keys jump to the beginning/end or In/Out points. You can use the Trim-command to more closely see a part of the video before cutting, then choose Revert Trimming to see all material. JKL-keys can be used to enable fast forward or reverse playing. The scroll wheel works also; with the Option key it scrolls 1 second per click. See the manual for more details on how to jump in single frame, GOP, 1 second, 10 second or 1 minute chunks when searching a specific spot in the video.
Editing and trimming can be accurate only if In and Out are both on keyframes because MPEG Streamclip edits to the GOP, not to the frame. For DVD and (XS)VCD the maximum GOP size is PAL 15 and NTSC 18 frames, so the editing accuracy can be up to about 0.6 seconds. You can advance to the previous or next keyframe (i.e. I-frame, the beginning of each GOP or Group Of Pictures) with the Up/Down arrow keys -- you can also use the Edit/Go to Keyframe command to see where the In and Out points really are when editing (the In point is included in the selection, the Out point is not included). Shift + Up/Down arrow keys allow fine-tuning the selection to the GOP.

WMV files won't play in safari on mac HELP!

I am trying to play a webcast which is in a WMV file and all my browser tells me when I open it is that there is a missing plug-in. Tried downloading Flip4Mac and that didn't seem to help unless I'm not doing it right! Can anyone help, please??! That would be so great! Thanks!

When importing WMV files, I only get the first few seconds of my movie.

I'm trying to do some color correction on a wedding video. The video was captured using Windows movie capture software and saved as a WMV file.
The file is about 700MB and 50 minutes long. When I import the file it the Project tab says the duration is only about 25 seconds. When I preview it, still only 25 seconds will show up. It's doing this for every video of the wedding that I import.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

What version of AE and with what compression settings were they captured? Premature stream endings usually points to VBR encoding, which AE doesn't particularly like. The files from Movie Maker may also contain program-specific data such as edit markers, which also could be mis-interpreted by AE. Check such things and perhaps try differnt settings. Failing that, simply use VirtualDub and similar tools to convert to conventional AVIs or otehr suitable formats.

I can't open wmv files with Lion. Windows media player doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Unable to open wmv files using Lion. Windows media player doesn't work. Are there any suggestions.
Thanks

Lynnie Marie ---
macfriedchikkin's reply would make sense to you if you were trying to open a camera, but if you are trying to view streming media from a web site that is a different story. It helps to be very specific about what you are tyring to do on these forums.
I belive you would go into Firefox Preferences menu and tell it to use VLC as the application to play WMV files. I'm still running Tiger, however, so I can't tell you if it the latest version works wel that way. The Tiger version doesn't seem to, but a lot may have changed since then. (I'm only just getting around to installing Leopard next week now that there are too may apps I can't run on Tiger. ) Perhaps someone else on this forum can better help you set up the player in your browser.
Or you can cut out the middleman and give VLC the direct video URL:
Choose Open File from the File menu and paste in the URL of the video, say,
http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-1
or http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-2
Your media should play this way. Dont forget to save the playlist for later.
I'l keep investigating on my end, and yes, I'm also encouraging certain people who are streaming windows media in to switching to a different format

How do i play .mp4 files via Dreamweaver CS3??

Hi,
Using Flash CS3 the RTMP path to the .mp4 file is:
rtmp://localhost/vod/mp4:sample.mp4 and it works fine to play
.mp4's, mov's etc.....
In Dreamweaver CS3 it wont accept any combination of paths.
Unlike Flash CS3 which only requires the single String,
Dreamweaver has two boxes that need to be filled in: The Server URI
field and also the Stream Name field.
Like FMS 2, where you don't name the streams folder in the
url, Dreamweaver CS3 is looking for it ie the "media folder" which
has replaced the "stream" folder.
Where in Flash CS3 you have to use the convention
mp4:sample.mp4, Dreammeaver will not accept anything.
Any help here would be appreciated

I assume from the silence that Dreamweaver CS3 has not been
updated to handle Flash 9 player and streaming Video from FMS 3.0
then.

FCP Project to .wmv file?

I have a FCP project that I have to export as a .wmv file. Can this be done?

It's Telestream converter for Windows Media. I have the HD studio version. It works out of FCP or Compressor. I was using Squeeze but they're using the new VC1 encoding instead of wm9. It caused some playback problems on our streaming server.

Uploading a wmv file using del.interoute?

Hi there
I created a wmv file through Final Cut and uploaded it using yousendit.com as I always do. However the client says that those kind of links dont work on their sites and they need to be like 'del.interoute.com'
Does anyone have a clue what this is? I've googled it thinking it would be like yousendit.com but it isnt. I've asked people in the know, who dont know. And I am stumped. I'm probably being super dumb right now, but can anyone shed any light on this.
I've emailed the client a few times about it, but I dont want to seem completely clueless.
Thank you in advance.
M

tell your clients that liking to a video on the site has nothing to do with the type of movie file you use. As long as it lives on a server that can be accessed, they can post a link to it. Now, they may want a streaming movie, not a downloading movie, in which case you would have to make sure you set it up that way, but still, they need to have a streaming server. They may also have a computer without said codec installed in the browser. So they need to tell you exactly what codec, bit rate, and image size to encode at. It's not your job to guess.
I just tried to go to that del.interoute.com, and there is no such site. So I don't know what king of voodoo it is. I found several video with it as the link type, but I am guessing you can't actually access the server, but sites can embed the files into their own site. So type in del.interoute and go to the first site that has video options to watch. Wait til one loads fully, then do a "save as source" and open the file in QT to inspect the settings. Then create your movie that way.

WMV File is not opening on MacBook

I bought a movie online yesterday for $19.99 and it downloaded in WMV format. I though it would work in WMV format since I have Flip4Mac, but it doesn't open. Every time I try to open it it says "The Application attempted to use an unsupported feature". I was able to stream Windows Media Files online, but can't seem to get this to open. I even tried converting to MP4, but I can't be converted cause I bought it and it has digital right copyrights. I put it on my brothers PC and it work fine. What can I do to work on my Mac? I even tried Videolan (VLC), but it just plays as bunch of colors and not image.

Most WMV movies are DRM protected. The Mac version of Flip4Mac cannot play such movies. In fact I believe not even WMV Player for the Mac will play them. It's Windows way of trying to force you not to use a Mac.
You can install Windows on your computer and play the movie from Windows.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not yet fully developed for the Mac - some features are not yet implemented - but it does work otherwise.
6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it.
