glufx Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) Has anyone sucessfully installed Flip4Mac? Link It says I need a newer version of quicktime when using the installer (I have the newest one from apples site on 8F1111g) so I went in and installed the packages manually. Now it says windows media files are a format that Quicktime can't understand. I have a feeling it needs to run in Rosetta to load Flip4mac, that sucks.

quixos Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 they are going to recompile that for the new macs, no doubt, and soon. it's just a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 http://www.flip4mac.com/fusetalk/forum/mes...3&enterthread=y There is a known Flip4mac compatibility issue with QuickTime 7.0.4. An update is now available and can be downloaded from www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm. Just download and install Version 2.0.1, which will overwrite the previous version. It is not necessary to uninstall Version 2.0. Version 2.01: http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm I will be trying it shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnniecarcinogen Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) this is a very cool perversion of quicktime, but i would suggest using VLC to view .wmv's which is open source. Edited January 13, 2006 by johnniecarcinogen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I could never get my captured videos from my dv cam to wmv toplay on vlc. I'm hoping this will work. Or at least wait for the unibin. To clear things up, the link posted on the MS site is still version 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you click the "advanced" box and choose "quartz video" for the video output module in VLC preferences. EDIT: assuming you are using the intel VLC binary.

domino Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Yea, I can watch mpeg, divx,and i think xvid just fine. Just that it will not play wmv files. Saying it doesn't support but I can hear audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnniecarcinogen Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 There is a certain wma (like yahoo music videos) that VLC can not decode. I wouldn't record in wma if possible or convert existing wma footage to mp4 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glufx Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 2.0.1 still doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabron Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 doesn't works here too include the vlc for wmv files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netgodsrdn2 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 2.0.1 still doesn't work. If you are having troubles with Flip4Mac not working look and see if you have /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ with 2 Flip4Mac plugins in it (Note the case of "i" in plug-ins it should be I). Move the 2 Flip4Mac plugins to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ And things work on a PPC Mac anyhow. I haven't had a chance to try it on Intel. I sent their support people a message about the directory name issue... Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vniow Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Look at the architecture of the plugins, its PPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 no good for me either. it is not a file that QuickTime understands (-2048) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiaboliK Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 i had the same problem but i opened the flip4mac app's contents installed the 2 packages and then went to quicktime info flipped on rosetta. shazam! it worked. it has a problem if it has a codec to retrieve before the file plays (like napster files.....pr0n...ect.ect.) other than that it plays all other wmv and wmp9/avi files flawlessly even better thatn wmp9 for osx even tho quicktime is in rosetta. btw my setup is a shuttle sb61g2v3. intel prescott 630 3.0ghz 1gig ram, nvidia 5700le, osx86 8f1111a(g) everything works perfectly except for graphics.

xiberia Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 i can't even install it. I have the latest Quicktime installed (7.04) but the flip 2.01 installer says "you need Quicktime 6.5 or newer to run this". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiaboliK Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 on the installer. right click or control click <- mac ppl and show package contents, open the folder contents then open and run the other 2 packages in there and then close down quicktime, find QT in the finder, get info, click open using rosetta, then thats is it.

suleiman Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 if you do that are you able to run safari under Rosetta and get a working browser plugin for playing wmv files? Edit: well I tried it, and it's a no go. I wish these flip4mac peope could hurry it up with the unibin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
