Re: .wmv viewing?

2004-06-23 Thread Aaron Willems
You need to download and install Microsoft Media Player for OS 9. The last
version they made for OS 9 was version 7. If the media file contains the
codec for Windows Media player 9, then your out of luck. Windows Media
Player 9 is for OS X only. But it doesn't hurt to try. Link is below.

Re: .wmv video files?

2004-06-13 Thread Richard Bae
It depends on which wmv codec was used.  If it was encoded in the newer 
wmv 9 codec you'll have to use windows media player for mac.  Otherwise 
I prefer VLC videolan.org another option is to use mplayer.

A lot of WMV's play on my Mac with 9.2, but I've noticed that there is 
less success with the newer generation of WMV movies... sound but no

 =46irst, playing back the sample video file that comes with the app is
 hardly a real world test. Secondly, you say above you run on OS X and my
 question was only related to WMP under OS 9.
 
 But even on OS X, Mplayer and VLC typically do a better job than
 Microsofts own app.

I've played plenty of full wmv files with wmp in 9.  It works fine, just
feels clunky interface and not as versatile as qt or other players

Ehum, I only wrote  from my OS 9 days part, not your whole reply.
Please make it more clear what the quoted person wrote or not.
I'm glad WMP works for you, Roger. My original point however, was that
freeware like VLC or Mplayer in my experience works better and with more
versions of WMV.
I've seen several live WMVcasts that absolutely did not work with the
latest version of MS WMP under OS X, but looked and worked very nice in
Mplayer (with some artifacts, to be expected from live casts).

And under OS 9, in my experience WMP works very very badly. I don't
remember being able to view anything on a G3 machine, but maybe it works
on a G4. And when was it last updated?

Well, I guess you have a G4 or fast G3. I suppose this shows some people
have WMP working for some files, but I'm 100% sure VLC and Mplayer can do
more modern WMV formats. Does WMP on OS 9 even support WMV 9? I think
not. Also, when was it last updated? More than 2 years ago!!!
If your files are that old, then maybe they can work, but it's absolutely
impossible that WMP on OS 9 will play newer versions like WMV9.

Also check out the amount of reviewed 1s for the OS X version at
versiontracker http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13112
and the OS 9 version http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/
2905. You think this is only MS bashing? I think not.

OK, case closed as far as I'm concerned.

Alright Joe; no need to make anyone feel silly...!

Anyway, IF the person looking for a way to play their movies SKIPPED over the 
WMP for Macs, I would not blame them it sucks!

It can only play one song at a time, cannot do any programmed play-lists... 
essentially it is a demo!

What is the VLC Media Player? Does it have more feature than the WMP?

Alright Joe; no need to make anyone feel silly...!
I guess you're right, sorry...   I have to be sarcastic at least once a

WMP for Macs, I would not blame them it sucks!

It can only play one song at a time, cannot do any programmed

Wow, didn't realize.  After years of using Linux I pretty much ignored 
anything Microsoft, until I discovered Xine could play wmv files.

What is the VLC Media Player? Does it have more feature than the WMP?

Never used it...   being just two months into using a mac i'm still 
discovering what's out there...

Mplayer http://mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/. Current version is beta6,
but I recommend beta4, as it lacks some of the sync problems with beta5.
VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html may be good on a
G4, but takes too much resources on a G3 in my experience. Current
version is 0.7 I think. Avoid version 0.6.
Also, there is the OS X version of Windows Media Player, but guess what
app have given me the best results? Mplayer, especially on streamed WMV.

VLC is a nice alternative.  However, it doesn't support the latest
Windoze Media 9 codecs.  I've already run into plenty of .wmv files
that don't play in VLC and only plays in WMP.  My suggestion is to
install both, make one your default, and make the other be a backup
player.
