Once you install this extension, you wont have any problems to play WMV videos on your browser, something specially useful if. If it makes people feel better download it from and not Microsoft. Flip4Mac, also known as Windows Media Components for QuickTime, is an add-on for Apples multimedia player that lets you play WMV and WMA video files on Quicktime.

A $21 price reduction is pretty good.įor the same $50 (that Pro used to cost) you can now export TO WMV, before you had to buy their Studio application for $100 to do that so there is a $50 reduction for basic WMV import and export both ways. They also lowerered the price of what was the Pro version from $50 to $29 and now call it WMV Import which allows you to transcode WMV to Quicktime. Flip4Mac comes with an extensive software collection designed to help you visualize Windows Media files on your Mac.

The MS support obviously means that MS recognizes the lousy performance of the WM Player for OSX and may also signal no further development or support in the future. They are now giving a full playback version away. The original "free" component available from was a limited version allowing partial playback.
