Flip4Mac WMV v2.0.2

Flip4Mac WMV is a collection of QuickTimeTM components that allow you to play, import and export Windows Media® files. Flip4Mac WMV can be used with most of your favorite QuickTime applications including QuickTime Player, iMovie and Final Cut Pro.

The Flip4Mac WMV components are compatible with Mac PowerPC OS X versions 10.3.9 and 10.4 and QuickTime versions 6.5 and 7.0 (recommended).

Upgrade

After installing Flip4Mac WMV you can play Windows Media files in QuickTime Player and view Windows Media content on the Internet using Safari and other web browsers.

By upgrading Flip4Mac WMV you will be able to import Windows Media files for editing or create Windows Media files for distribution. These features are available in trial mode until you're ready to purchase an upgrade.

You can purchase an upgrade at the Flip4Mac Store or directly from the software by selecting Flip4Mac WMV in the System Preferences application.

Web Browser Support

Flip4Mac WMV includes an Internet plug-in that plays Windows Media streams within Safari and other web browsers. When installed the Flip4Mac WMV plug-in replaces the plug-in provided by Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X.

While the Flip4Mac WMV plug-in provides superior playback performance, it is unable to play content that has been protected using Windows Digital Rights Management (DRM).

If you want to continue using the Microsoft supplied web browser plug-in, click "Customize" during installation and uncheck the "Web Browser Support" option.
