Playing .wmv on OSX?

[Deep13]

How do I do it? I downloaded what purports to be software to play it. It's version X.4.8.

2. You may want to try MPlayer...

it's been ported to nearly every modern OS in existence, and it's free!

I've been using it for years. I love it.

Get iSquint for converting Flv (flash movies) to mp4.

One thing to remember: click on the H.264 Encoding for videos.

If you want to download Youtube videos go to Window/Activity up in the menu bar. When you hit Activity a window will open. Look for the list and find the video you just viewed. Look for the one that is several mb's. Double click it and it will download to your download folder. When done, drag and drop the file into iSquint. click start.

When done rename the new .mp4 file as you wish.



the new file will open in QuickTime.
