Microsoft endorsed WMV player for Mac
Flip4Mac is a simple and effective solution for playing WMV or WMA files on your Mac. It is the official Windows Media Player for Mac, endorsed by Microsoft. Flip4Mac 3.0 includes its own player, Flip Player, which allows you to view WMV videos in QuickTime as well. The free version of Flip Player has a clean appearance and does not obscure video content with overlay controls. It also includes features like slow motion options and the ability to crop, rotate, scale, and trim videos.
Flip4Mac 3.0 is optimized for OS X 10.7+ and supports WMV playback in Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and Mail. It even has playback support in Office 2011 for Word and PowerPoint. Keynote can also import Windows Media files through Flip4Mac. The program supports video previews in Finder and offers powerful tools for video editors working with WMV files.
However, it is important to note that Flip4Mac 3.0 does not support Snow Leopard and does not support screencasting. The free version of Flip Player leaves a watermark in QuickTime, but this may be removed in future versions. Advanced features are only available in the Pro version.
Overall, Flip4Mac 3.0 remains a powerful solution for anyone who needs to play WMV and Windows Media files on their Mac. Its introduction of Flip Player enhances the management of WMV files on Mac, offering additional features not available in QuickTime.
