This has been occuring since I did a software install and restore. It only happens with FlipforMac wmv. v 2.1.0.33. Any help much appreciated. Thank you.

Does it happen for all movies, or only wmvs, or only certain wmvs?

Have you tried reinstalling Flip4Mac?
Also keep in mind not all WMVs can be read by Flip4Mac. Microsoft has kept a tight grip on it's DRM technology, and as such, several WMVs that use DRM cannot be read by any player except those on Windows. Try playing the file in another third party player, such as VLC, and if it doesn't player in VLC, then this is most likely the issue you're having, and of which, there is no solution.

Reinstalled Flip4Mac. No change. I will just keep trying to solve on my own and maybe learn a thing or two. Thank you for your time. Stan Green.
