TICKET ARCHIVE -> opening wmv files in imovie

kobers - Jan 18, 2008 - 7:32 pm

I just got a macbook with OS X Leopard. I could not open wmv files and a friend tried to help and asked the computer to open them using imovie, which does not work. I have since read that I should download somthing called flip4mac. But the real question is: How do I stop the mac from opening wmv files using imovie?

Yes, you need to install Flip4Mac to watch WMV files via Quicktime. When you install Flip4Mac, it will modify the settings so that wmv files are opened correctly.
