Windows Media Player Install File!

Hello i've just got my new Macbook...and eksrtemly happy
but i can't open a lot of movies on the Internet/Safari..I've Found the Instal file for WMP but it is a .Sitx File...And my Mac can't open it!
Help is needed!
Thanks Mathias

Download Flip4Mac instead which provides the same functionality as WMP. Microsoft has stopped supporting WMP with Apple and OS X so there will be no additional upgrades or new versions provided. The Flip4Mac download is provided as a disk image which requires nothing else for access. A download with a .sit extension requires downloading and installing Stuffit Expander which is no longer pre-installed on new Macs by Apple.

  • Convert Windows media Player WAV file to QuickTime

    I have been asked to e mail a windows media player WAV file in the Quick Time format. My PC has the free Quick Time 7.2 version. How can I convert these files from a WAV file to the Quick Time format? I see a Quick Time upgrade that appears to do the trick, just want to make sure. Thanks!!

    Clears the air a bit. Your file is .wma (Windows Media Audio) format.
    Mac users that have installed http://flip4mac.com will be able to hear the file. Older Mac users would use the Windows Media Player for Mac to listen to it.
    No conversion is needed for most Mac users.
    There are hundreds of third party apps that can convert audio and video formats. Some are free and others offer free trial conversions. A little Google searching should help you find what you need.

  • How to play .wma and other Windows Media Player-format files/videos on Mac?

    Hi again,
    I will be asking stupid questions as I'm a newbie to Mac, so please bear with me. There are some video format that QuickTime player doesn't play e.g. .wma files. I tried a couple of times to download Windows Media Player for Mac but it doesn't install on my Mac! Do I require a software similar to Zipfile or does Mac has it all build in?
    PS - What is the coequal of "delete" button here in Mac (keyboard)?

    Download and install Flip4Mac - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - to play Windows Media files via Quicktime. Also get Perian to provide additional codecs for other video formats.
    The Delete key is on the keyboard next to the "=" key.

  • Windows Media Player (wmv files)

    Just wondering. Ever since I purchased this new intel core duo mac (I love absolutely love it by the way), I was wondering why anything associated with windows media player does not run correctly when used with safari. For example, mlb.com or espn.com don't function correctly and these are only a few among many sites. Does anyone know why or have any ideas? I downloaded and installed (and have since deleted) the flip4mac player (which sucked and didn't work correctly). Any tips or advice would be great! Thanks.

    Re-download and re-install the Flip4Mac component. Once correctly installed, find your Safari application in your Applications folder. Go to "Get Info" and tick the selection which allows your browser to operate under Rosetta. Now launch Safari and surf both mlb.com and espn.com. All the video functionality on those sites will function correctly - I just tested both on my intel box.
    Until such time as Telestream releases a optimized version of their Flip4Mac component, you'll need to launch Safari under Rosetta to view video content streaming WMV. It's not a perfect solution (you'll find it a bit slower vis-a-vis running native), but it's a solid work-around for the time-being.

  • Firefox 5.0 doesn't play Window Media Player (WMV) files.

    Not sure when this problem occurred since I don't really play WMV files until recently, but I do remember it working correctly before Firefox 4.0. Whenever I load any type of WMV file in Firefox, it doesn't seem to play the files. The "Play" is there, and it seems that the file is completely loaded, but when I press the play button, it says "Connecting", then it doesn't say anything and nothing appears. Before, I would get a message on the bottom telling me the % of the download/stream was buffered, but not anymore. Any idea what the cause of this might be?

  • EXPORT LONG FILES IN 1080p for Windows Media Player

    Hello, need some help in exporting and encoding some large files from Premiere CS6.
    We have 4 Sequences, each totalling 45minutes in length and in 1080p (ProRes422).
    We need to export and encode for Windows Media Player as quickly as possible.
    Looks like each export is going to take over an hour from Premiere as "Match Sequence Settings"
    -keep in mind there is NO AUDIO.
    Once it's out of Premiere as an MPEG, I can transcode to any format. Ultimately WMV would be optimal,
    but we need to transcode the MPEG into a MOV file before 'Episode' will accept it, just to make the WMV files.
    Target files: (4) 1080p Windows Media Player compatible files
    Does anyone have a better workflow workaround? Midnight hour and need help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Dan

    Thanks Jim, I can't export to WMV out of Premiere or Media Encoder. I use Episode to make my WMV files, and since Episode doesn't take MPEG in from Premiere (sigh)
    I have to first make them in Quicktimes..
    But yes! Anything Windows Media Player can handle... should I just go with the 5GB MPG files? No way for me to test, I'm on a Mac and these are playing on a PC
    thanks for your help

  • Windows Media Player in Mac OSX 10.4

    I recently upgraded to 10.4 a few months ago, and before I did that, I had Windows Media Player installed on Saffari. When I Upgraded, it still worked, but when I upgraded my other Mac to 10.4, I tried to install Windows Media Player on Safari but it did mot work. My guess is that 10.4 does not recognize the .sitx format that previously worked on my 10.3. So is there another version of Windows Media Player that I'm just not seeing, or can I download another player for Safari?

    Hi Tanner,
    My guess is that 10.4 does not recognize the .sitx format that previously worked on my 10.3
    Mac OS X 10.4 no longers comes with StuffIt Expander. You'll need to install that to be able to use .sitx files.

  • Windows Media Player vs. Flip4Mac

    I am trying to watch a news clip on the Internet - I have Quicktime and Flip4Mac and the website says that they don't support either. I have to have Microsoft Media Player - so I tried downloading the newest version (9) and I still can't get the video to play.
    Any ideas? If it helps the station/website is http://www.wdbj7.com
    I can always watch it at work on my PC but it irks me that I can't figure out how to get it to work on my Mac.

    Unfortunately, the Windows Media Player browser plug-in will not work on an Intel Mac which is why you must use Flip4Mac. The Windows Media Player (installed in your Applications folder) will work on its own, but you have to download the .wmv file in order to view it.
    In most cases websites don't check for WMP specifically so any .wmv media is automatically played by Flip4Mac.
    Note that after installing WMP you will need to reinstall Flip4Mac in order to replace the WMP plug-in or Flip4Mac will no longer be active. You should restart the computer after installing Flip4Mac or it may not work properly with your browser.

  • CS4 using a Mac and want to play video using windows media player

    Hi I am having issues with file types to play video back using Windows media player.
    I am producing video using Premiere CS4 on a Mac and I need to know what format to use to have the files play in windows media player as .mp4 is not compatable with wm player.
    Thanks

    I have Windows Media Player installed on my PC workstation and I do remember installing a codec so that MP4 files could play in WMPlayer 11 on Windows Vista 64-bit (should work on 32-bit also)
    look near the bottom section of this link for further information.  The codec is called DirectShow
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992#34
    Otherwise if you're posting videos on a webpage for example in the mp4 format use the Quicktime html wrapper so that people using Mac's can also view your videos that are encoded for PC's.  If you encode in wmv format (Windows Media Video) then provide a link to the "Flip4Mac" application that can use Quicktime on the Mac to play Windows Media Files.  I think you can find it on www.mactopia.com .

  • Playback on Windows Media Player?

    When saving a video for playback on a computer, it gives several options for file type. I need one that will allow playback on Windows Media Player. I see the for playback using Quicktime. Will this also play in WMP or which one do I select for this purpose? Thank you!

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Windows 8 and 8.1 64 bit (independent of Premiere Elements) have problems with what will or will not play in its Windows Media Player. Files with MPEG2 compression seem to be a major problem in that regard.
    I have been able to open videos with the .mov file extension in Windows Media Player or QuickTime (better results in QuickTime) on Windows 7 and 8.1 64 bit.  But a rule of thumb might be to try either player for your file, if problems, download and install the VLC player and determine if that works for your overall video playback needs. There is also a Media Classic Player HC that you might want to consider.

  • Converting video on imovie hd to play on a PC with windows media player

    Hi, i have recently transfered video from a mini dv camcorder to imovie hd on my imac/ macbook which i have done successfully, i now have to convert it to a DVD or CD Rom which has to be played on my bosses PC which has windows media player installed on it, at present it is saying file not supported, how do i go about doing this? in the easiest possible way......Thanks

    In iMovie, Share > Media Browser.
    Open iDVD, clcik Movies in the Media pane and select the iMovie you made then burn that.
    This will be a standard DVD which can be used on any DVD player or DVD application.
    Windows Media Player doesn't play DVDs as standard as it needs to have a decoder installed.
    See this -> Playing DVDs in Windows Media Player
    If he has a DVD drive on his computer, it should have come with a DVD player application.

  • Windows Media Player on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition

    I have a server with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition installed. This server is being used as a terminal server and I needed to have Windows Media Player installed in order to use a certain feature of a program running on the terminal server. After
    researching online I found that all I should need to do is install the Desktop Experience feature and Windows Media Player was included in that. After installing the Desktop Experience feature and restarting the server, I was not able to find Windows
    Media Player anywhere. I tried the same process on another server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with the same results.
    I was curious as to if this was a Datacenter thing where it was specifically not included with Datacenter edition. I was not able to find any documentation stating that WMP was not included in Datacenter, and everything that I found stated that the feature
    sets for Standard and Datacenter were the same, it was just the licensing for them was different.
    Curious to see if it would get installed with Desktop Experience on Standard, I spun up a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard VM and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough WMP was installed as well. I then upgraded the Standard VM to Datacenter with a
    Datacenter product key and after a restart WMP was still present.
    I have also tried this exact same process with Windows Server 2012 (non R2) Datacenter edition and WMP was installed as expected, so it appears that this is only a problem with R2.
    My question is, I this "works as designed" and I was just not able to find the documentation to support it or is this a bug?
    Update: After doing some more playing around I noticed that if I did a clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and then installed the Desktop Experience feature and WMP does get installed. Then I remembered that on the servers that I was trying to
    install WMP on and it wasn't working were upgraded from 2012 to 2012 R2. So I created a brand new VM and installed Server 2012 Datacenter (non R2), then upgraded to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough, WMP did not
    install. So now I really think it is a bug and it is related to the 2012 to 2012 R2 upgrade process.

  • Windows Media Player plugin & Safari - Quicktime opens up???

    Everytime I'm on a website and I click on a video clip that is a windows media player video file (wmv), the file opens up with the quicktime plug in - and the whole wmv won't play. I have to download the clip to see the whole thing in my Windows Media Player.
    How do I set up Safari so it will play wmv clips with a windows media player plug in so I don't have to download a bunch of video clips that I just wanted to see on a website.

    This is what you need flip4mac. Just go to the link and download it.

  • How do I save/convert IMovie clips to be able to play in Windows Media Player?

    I am new to IMovie and have a new MacBookPro Retina. I have made several movies and want to be able to share them with friends on their PC. How can I save/convert them for them to play them in Windows Media Player?

    file/share/ and select 'file' again.. creates a mp4, which is compatible with any player software.
    or, in case ....
    If want to 'convert' older exports, with a mov or m4v of whatever suffix, use he free tool Mpeg Streamclip, open the file, choose direct 'Save as' again, and select in the drop-down menu mp => NO conversion, just 're-wrapping', blazing fast and lossless ...

  • Emailing song to open with Windows Media Player

    Does anyone know how to send a song from iTunes to someone as an email attachment that will be in a format Windows Media Player can open?
    When I copy a song it always comes out as a Real Player file. I want it as a Windows Media Player appropriate file.

    You're not going to be able to convert a m4a (which can be played in iTunes OR real player) file like that on the fly. Especially if it's a protected file that was purchased from the iTunes Store. If it wasn't purchased from the iTunes Store, you can find a converter program that will convert the files to WMA. Just google it -- I am sure they exist. From there, you can email it as a WMA.
    Or, you could convert the song (if it's not protected) into an mp3 file within iTunes. The mp3 file could be email and opened within Windows Media player.
