Flip4Mac WMV 2.2.0.49

Flip4Mac WMV is a collection of QuickTime components that allow you to play, import and export Windows Media les. Flip4Mac WMV can be used with most of your favorite QuickTime applications including QuickTime Player, iMovie 6 (iMovie '08 is not supported at this time) and Final Cut Pro. The Flip4Mac WMV components are compatible with Intel and PowerPC(G4+) Mac OS X versions 10.3.9, 10.4, 10.5.1 or later and QuickTime versions 7.0 and later (7.1.6 or higher recommended).

Upgrade

After installing Flip4Mac WMV you can play Windows Media les in QuickTime Player and view Windows Media content on the Internet using Safari and other web browsers. By upgrading Flip4Mac WMV you will be able to import Windows Media les for editing or create Windows Media les for distribution. These features are available in trial mode until you're ready to purchase an upgrade. You can purchase an upgrade at the Flip4Mac Store or directly from the software by selecting Flip4Mac WMV in the System Preferences application.

Web Browser Support

Flip4Mac WMV includes an Internet plug-in that plays Windows Media streams within Safari and other web browsers.
