Viewing .WMV Files in Mail

When I get an email with a .wmv file attached, I used to be able to view it directly in Mail. Now, all I get is the audio - no video. I have the latest version of Flip4Mac installed and still not working. Any suggestions?

I got it working properly again. I had previously been prompted to install a new version of Flip4Mac, but when I went to install it, it said I had a newer version and did I really want to install an older version over it. I said no. But I just went in and installed the "new" version even though it said mine was newer and the problem went away. I can see the video in the email now and before this install, I could not.
I'm guessing that maybe the prompt saying my version was newer was not the case? I mean, why would I have a newer version than what's on the website? Maybe they reverted back to an older version on the website because of this problem? I dunno. I just know this fixed it, so I'm happy.

  • Cannot view WMV files on iMAC

    I installed Perian 1.2.3 as an add on to my Quicktime player to view WMV files, however after installing Perian I still cannot view them. Am I missing some steps. It comes up on my desk top (Perian 1.2.3) and after I open e-mails with video attatchents such as WMV, I still cannot view them. Please advise, if you can, thanks!

    Pretty simple, download and install Flip4Mac. WMV is a MS Windows format so you need a method to convert the WMV files. You can find Flip4Mac at:

  • Viewing .wmv files

    This may be an old quesiton, but, I have problems viewing .wmv files online and when friends send .wmv files? I don't understand why? My computer is brand new this past Christmas.... When I select the file to be viewed an error message pops up with the Blue Q on the left side and it reads...."Error opening movie", then it says.... "The movie could not be opened".

    Have you installed the Flip4Mac plugin for Quicktime yet?

    How to you view "wmv" files on ipad 2

    WMV files aren't natively supported on the iPad - you will either need to convert them before putting them on the iPad, or you could have a look in the app store for a third-party app e.g. search for 'wmv'

  • Viewing TIFF files in Mail MAC OS X 10.4.9

    I can not view TIFF files in mail. All I get is the first page of multiple pages. With the message open, I do see the Slideshow and Save buttons presented immediately beneath the headers but no mater what I try and do all I get is the first page. If I forward it and open it on a PC it displays just fine. Is there a way to view these files in mail correctly?
    iMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I'll take a look at it and see. I don't know why the company (AAA) sends these TIFF files like this. They generate them like from a FAX and then email it or they are sending it to an email from the fax not sure which but they say this is the only way they have to send it by email.
    Thanks for the quick response.

  • How can i view .wmv file--Safari 10.7.4 installed Flip4Mac and Quick Time open file, w/o video, only sound?

    I used to be able to view .wmv files before OSX update version 10.7.4.  Right now I get sound only using either Quich Time or Flip4Mac.  Is there a fix for this issue?  What else should I try?  Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

  • Can I view .WMV files with 10.7?

    Can I view .wmv files with OS 10.7.2?

    Mac OS X has no native ability to view WMV files, but you can download and install the free codecs from Flip4Mac:
    http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
    and use QuickTime Player. Note that not all WMV codecs have been ported to Mac, nor has the copy protection system, so not all videos will work.

  • Viewing WMV files stored on an SD card - Treo 650

    This has probably been covered in another thread, but I am new to the Treo 650 and a "search" function on this forum seems to be eluding me..
    Is there a 3rd party app (or better yet installed software!) that I need to view files on an SD card on my machine?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Cola, there are no native programs for viewing wmv files on PalmOS device!
    Purchaseable programs are Kinoma 4 EX, or CorePlayer.  Both can read wmv video files.
    Viewing programs on an SD card is different from running raw video or audio files.  Free programs such as Filez, 3xCommander, or File Manager can view the contents of both your device's RAM and it's SD card.

  • Can't view PDF files in Mail

    After the 10.5 upgrade I can no longer view PDFs in Mail. Not sure if this is also due to the install of Adobe CS3, however now PDFs just show as a "mime-attachment" which do not display in any other app. Other 10.5.1 users can view these email attachments just fine.
    Is there a way to re-enable PDF files in Mail.app, so that mails with PDF files are displaying within mail.app correctly?

    Yes, I can view emails it is the PDF files I can't download or view.  In OS 4 I could touch the attachment and it would open up, now when I touch the attachment it just tries to download.  This is for all PDF files in gmail.

  • All of a sudden, after upgrading to lion, i can't view wmv files, any suggestions?

    can't view wmv as a result of upgrading to lion , any suggestions?

    Alas, http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/tech-specs.htm says support for Lion coming soon.  They are even Microsoft's own recommendation for WMV.  Thankfully several virtualization engines are already Lion compatible.  See my FAQ*:

  • How to view .wmv files on Mac?

    Does anybody know what I need to do to be able to view MIME type files such as .wmv on mac?
    Thanks!

    Hi Xiaowei Cheng
    There are quite a few other applications that're also useful for viewing various media types on Mac OS X - including some great free tools from the Unix world - two of the best are VLC (VideoLan Client) and Mplayer OS X
    I recommend grabbing those in addition to the (quite correct) suggestions above - they can often open and read things that *nothing else will (and have many other very powerful functions).
    Best wishes.

  • Flip4Mac is not working. How can I view WMV files?

    I downloaded Flip4Mac and Qucktime opens and only plays a black soundless screen. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong, or are there other files I need?

    There is another alternative which is Flip4Mac (it is a plugin for quicktime that allows you to play windows media file in quicktime). It is available for download here: http://www.telestream.net/products/flip4mac.htm.
    Hope this helps for you,
