Many people prefer VLC because it is available for many different operating systems and is an open source software project supported by many dedicated programmers across the world.Īll versions of VLC support the various formats you’re used to opening in Windows Media Player: WMV (video), WMA (audio) and ASF. VLC is a stand-alone media player like Quicktime and Windows Media Player. One caveat of Flip4Mac is that it cannot play WMV video that uses Windows Media digital rights management, so some videos may not be accessible even though you’ve installed Flip4Mac. Just quit your browser after installing the plug-in, the start it back up and revisit any site containing a video you wanted to watch. There is no extra configuration necessary in order to make this happen. Installing Flip4Mac also makes it possible to watch streaming WMV videos in your web browser. Make sure to eject the “Flip4Mac” installation volume - hit the “Eject” button next to its name in the Finder sidebar.

You will now be able to watch WMV files in Quicktime.
