Dear Richard,

My name is Vinko and I will attempt to assist you.

For me to assist you more precisely, can you please provide the BBC web site and the video you are trying to watch.

Some of the video content from BBC are in FLASH format and other are streamed in Windows Media Video (WMV) format.

For your browser to playback FLASH content you will need to install the FLASH Plugin from Adobe.

For your browser to playback WMV content you will need the Flip4Mac Quicktime Plugin, as Microsoft had discontinued support for Windows Media Player for the Mac 5 years ago.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

-- Vinko

Thank you for using MacOSX.Com's free Mac support.
