Subject: .wmv for Mac
Tony - we spoke at the AGM about the difficulty which Mac users can have in viewing .wmv video clips on the MHR website.
I've found that the "Flip4Mac" wmv tools for Quicktime work well with OS10.4.
These can be downloaded from www.flip4mac.com. The basic viewer plugin is free (this isn't very obvious on the website) but you have to pay for the other tools in the package if you want them. Excellent PDF documentation is included.

Thank you Keith. Let's hope they don't all catch up with web-movies at the same time and overload the servers! d:-) ... tw

I recently found the Flip4Mac plug-in that Keith talks about on the Microsoft website where it is a bit more obvious that its a free
download than the Flip4mac site itself.

I find it far easier to view .wmv files this way than in Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X.
