Todge Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Why not download Windows Media Player for mac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai the Socket Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Why not download Windows Media Player for mac? ← That's the only reqasonable suggestion really. I've got Window media player 9 i think. It's ok i guess but way shitter, on the OS X platform, than Quicktime for example. Add me to msn or Adium, as I suggested in the PM reply, and I'll sort you out with it all. I'll even get you quicktime pro :mellow: :- Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 you can download plugins for mpg and avi....if that's what you want... Just try and play it and a download plugin box might come up :mellow: maybe adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biketrialler Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Quicktime pro is hardly hard to get, lol. You get a serial number and type it into the registration box on quicktime, and all the advanced features are unlocked, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Theres a very good thing you can dowload which makes it and many other programs work alot better, I think its called Microsoft Windows XP or something like that (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionic Balls Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 that's actually not a bad idea...an emulator or something i believe... allows you to run windows as a program in itself...(or something like that). adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biketrialler Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 SamSouthtrials, have you ever used a Mac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minitrialer Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 by any chance is that comment going to end in ' then you wouldn't want to go back to windwos!' lol i was waiting for it, saves me saying it. However if that wasn't what you were going to say then 'shut up Dan' *slap* because basically i don't. I want to stay with my mac (N) and in theory download a media player or something that enables me to play those files on quicktime. ( i am a bit of a computer spud but am trying to learn, you see) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biketrialler Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I absolutely adore my Mac Mini. Im running osx 10.4.1 tiger. Go on the apple top left corner, software update, and get it all up to date. Programs I use for video and audio heaven are... VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Thats awesome for playing anything you cant run in quicktime. Windows Media Player: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...d/download.aspx Assuming youre going to that page on your mac it will let you download Windows media player 9 for mac. Its ok enough for playing WMV but I wouldnt bother using it for anything else. iTunes Im assuming you have this - its great for playing and organising your music. If youve got any tracks that it wont play then get Flacer http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo...9903&vid=119813 This program does drag and drop conversion from .flac to other formats useable in itunes easyWMA http://www.carrafix.com/EasyWMA/ This similarly converts WMA to other formats. With this set of programs you should have no problems playing anything. If you havent got a quicktime 7 pro serial number, PM me :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 macs are great but is it not worth trying to find an emulator just to run the media stuff on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minitrialer Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 (edited) the reason i want it is so i can use my digital camera on my mac (which i used to use on windows) .As thats why i mainly wanted a mac editing etc. i tryed to get media player yesterday it said i needed version 9 or something but i have the latest version you cna get ! the computer is only 4 days old ! arrghh :( thanks for all the help, i am trying media player again with that link and he first link will edit when done. vvvv "Safari can’t open the file “Windows Media.sitx” because no available application can open it." when i open in the first link you gave me in comes up really pixelated(sp?or even right word?) and you can only just tell what clip it is . ? ^_^ Edited June 14, 2005 by minitrialer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biketrialler Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 You need to download stuffit expander so you can use the file, google for it :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minitrialer Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 (edited) Whats that supposed to mean? I got the thing you told me to get then did all you told me to do then downloaded windows mp so it opens but nothing else does then tried something else and that wouldn't work. It wasn't me being pompus(sp?) sorry if you wern't but that was how it seemed. We can't all be great with computers .
