Play Windows Media Streaming Videos in the QuickTime player
The latest codecs in Windows Media player look great as it relates to downloadable and real-time streaming videos. One problem for those that are using the Mac platform is they do not get to take advantage of those codec quality improvements. That is because Windows Media player for the Mac has not been upgraded along with the version for Windows.
Here is something that will help you. Telestream has a Flip4Mac Windows Media plug-in that works with QuickTime and allows the ability to playback Windows Media streaming content in the QuickTime Player. The quality is excellent and Mac users can begin to enjoy Windows Media content in a new way.
The cost for the plug-in is inexpensive and worth the $9.99 it costs. Telestream makes other great tools in addition to the Windows Media plug-in for QuickTime Player. There are also Windows Media Import and Exports components if you need to import and edit Windows Media content or if you need to export Windows Media content for streaming for the web. These tools work with QuickTime compatible applications
