No worry, however, it's not the end of the road. As a result, we might often encounter errors when playing WMV files on Mac. Unfortunately, WMV is the mandatory video format for online stores and devices certificated by Microsoft PlaysForSure which is not supported by macOS out of the box. Since I already own VisualHub, I haven't tried VideoMonkey, but if it's based on VisualHub, you should give it a go.It can be frustrating when you try to play WMV ((Microsoft Windows Media) on Mac and find that your Mac cannot play WMV or it can only play the audio or video of the WMV file.

Trouble is, it just takes too long to do it on my MacMini. I resaved WMV movies to AVI, noodled with some settings, and the video quality was great. VisualHub (I own version 1.3.4) is a great tool. It'll cover the whole bottom half of your screen.īrian's advice, however, is probably the best. Note that if you just have the free version of Flip4Mac, even if you have QuickTime Pro installed, you'll get a watermark if you try to export a WMV file to another format. It's a bit old but it's all I've got: A 2005 MacMini with 1GB Ram running 10.4.11. Part of that may have to do with my machine. I have Flip4Mac Studio Pro 220 on my Mac, and compared with older versions of Flip4Mac, WMV files take longer than ever to load. I'm definitely with the first poster, who doesn't like the fact that, even with Flip4Mac installed, WMV files take forever to load. Thanks for all the posts on this subject.
