Hi everyone! 1) I am having alot of trouble lately opening media (and other) files that people have sent me. Not sure what the problem is - I have installed Flip4Mac and I think set it up correctly and don't remember having problems with it initially but I find I can play these files no problem simply using WMV on my desktop on which I have not installed Flip4Mac.
Recently, every .wmv file that I try to play (opening into Quicktime using Flip4Mac) on my laptop (OS 10.4.8), plays very haltingly. It seems to want to play audio and video separately for instance. Sometimes, I will see a still frame while hearing the audio continue and then it will jump audio and video. It makes it absolutely impossible to watch - you can't follow or even see all the pics. Any idea what is happening? Should I reinstall the old WMV for OSX app and play some files on it and others via Flip4Mac? 2) I often get files forwarded to me (which I like to open in order to be friendly and sociable and possibly have a laugh) but they often come in mystery formats like one this morning. It came with 2 attachments: - An html attachment informed me that if I forwarded the mail (which contained a riddle) the answer would pop up. - Of course, knowing this would not happen in Emailer, I tried to just open the second attachment which was named 001101c752e7$f7185b00$6500a8c0, with no extension. Double-clicking opened it in to a text file - with alot of code starting with the word gif. So I tried appending .gif and got a pencil graphic. (Which could not be the answer to the riddle.) Appending .wmv (which often worksk with these so unnamed text files) also gave me the pencil - static. I tried emailing myself and opening the mail in Gyaz with Show Html Contents turned on and, oddly enough, Gyazmail won't display the attachments in the body either. (hmmmm - what does that mean -html attachments sent via CE stay as attachments?) Can you help or offer advice on either topic? Thanks, Tannis ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
