Flip4Mac

There was no need to transcode the video. If you do, then be aware that Flip4Mac does not have full functionality until you pay the optional fee. ...

I didn't know I was using a Flip4Mac codec - or even what it is! I don't own a PC. I was simply opening the wmv file in Quicktime. It played okay in both Quicktime and Windows Media Player before I upgraded to Quicktime Pro. Then I converted it to a .mov file with QT Pro and the quality went to hell.

You didn't say that you were playing Windows media files using the Flip4Mac codec. To edit those, you also need the paid version of Flip4Mac. ...

I listen to 1-hour long radio shows streamed via Flip4Mac (.wma files) through QuickTime in Safari. A progress bar indicates that the file is being downloaded, so it must be stored somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it.

That'll put them in AIFF format, from which you can convert to any other Mac-friendly format. Otherwise, it's at least $10 (EasyWMA, Sound Converter). More $ will get more horsepower. I'm fond of Switch.

I've read a previous thread on converting wma to mp3 and have tried the solutions (flip4mac, qt pro, easywma, switch). I am still looking for a free solution. Is there one? Sorry if this is a FAQ but appreciate any help.
