Flip4Mac

Hi

Did you tried to open the WMV file on a PPC and export it with QuickTime to MOV file?

Does anyone know how to open & play a WMV file in the
MacBook Pro?

I use VLC which is now Universal.

Flip4Mac is not supported at this time,
though they are working on a version that will work.

You can run Quicktime through Rosetta and Flip4Mac will work.

Good Luck

maybe this is my last reply otherwise, you gonna kill me

I am new to MAC and am confused on how to do this "flipmac" thing. I do not understand the following statement from the directions:


Select "Get Info." Beneath the color labels you'll notice a checkbox that reads "Open Using Rosetta." Check it.

Those options do not come up for me.

Also, I am not exactly sure what this means, "mount the disk image and navigation to /Appications/Utilities. " Does it mean drop and drag it into the file folder for Installers?

Thx for any assistance...

What they mean is;

Get the flip4mac package. Double click the dmg and it will "mount" on the desktop.

When you mount a drive on the desktop - it shows you what is inside the .dmg (disc image). You will see flip4mac. Right click or ctrl click on flip4mac and select - get info.

In the information window tick the box that says open using rosetta.

Then.....

Go to the folder on your hard drive call utilities - it is in the applications folder.

Find the application which is called "Installer"

Do exactly the same thing you did with flip 4 mac to the installer - get info/open with Rosetta.

Go back to flp4mac and install it.

Test flip4mac with a wmv

Once done, go back to installer and undo what you did to it (tellng it to open using rosetta)

That's it.

hey guys the flip4Mac beta is out, but people that are on the beta list are the only people that are supposed to have it so. So if you are on a intel mac and want to try it i put it on my site so you dont have to wait till it gets put in the public beta. well any way here it is

sweet - although it's definately slow to load a movie over network storage. it seems like it's trying to pull the whole thing in. it would be nice if they could allow the movie to start playing while still retreiving the rest of the content.

Does anyone else here think Telestream *****???

There is a beta out and the final will soon be.

Good Morning. I have a new macbook pro and screwed up on the install of loading Windows XP (bootcamp)So now I have a formatted disk without MACOS or XP. I would like to reload but it fails on the "Disk1" reload. How do I reformat the drive back to MAC standards so I can load the MACOS?

Actually flip4Mac IS available at this time. Its in beta and avaiable through a link in the flip4mac forums.
Working fine for me...

The link above (due to complaints) have been deleted 😟

I personally use the good old Windows Media Player and it works well enough for me. Granted that Microsoft is officially dropping future support for it, you can still download it on their website. Be sure that you have the Stuffit expander before downloading this program though. It is free and you can use this link to get it:

Good luck!

When the flip4mac is downloaded an alarm reading "this cannot be installed on Intel based computers" comes up. It says to check back later??
