Danny Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 VLC Media Player for windows or mac (Y) http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Haha. VLC is good(Or MPlayer for mac is also good), and it will play everything apart from WMV. For that you need Windows Media Player:Mac, which is just annoying really. People should just make videos in something better than wmv, but what can you do? Just try the download again or perhaps try and download it from another site. PS You do know that installing things on a Mac ain't the same as on the PC? Double click the .dmg file, and then drag the Windows Media Player icon into your applications folder. Simple as that (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biketrialler Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 As its been said, go get VLC player for mac as it is the daddy (Y) To unpackage Windows Media Player for Mac, you need to get a program called Stuffit Expander. Its free, just google for it and install that :) Then it should be obvious to you how to actually install WMP :) You'll get used to the Mac soon and be reaping the benefits in no time :) Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narrowbars Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 oooop one more thing, how do you save pictures from websites??? like on a pc you right click, save image as, i cant figure it out. cheers stu On your key board there are 2 apple keys. Either side of the space bar. Highlight the picture you want and the hold one of the apple keys and press S to save file. Somtimes you can also just drag and drop the picture to your desktop, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Control+click is the same as right click. Or you can do as narrowbars suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
