Flip4Mac WMV 2.1.1
Telestream has released an update to its Flip4Mac Windows Media Components for QuickTime. As its name implies, the basic software allows users to play Windows Media files through QuickTime; paid upgrades, like WMV Player Pro, add functions such as import, export and editing. Version 2.1.1 enables playback of the Windows Media 9 Advanced Profile, also known as VC-1, as well as improved MPEG-4 support and two-pass VBR (variable bitrate) encoding. The software also better handles installation through Apple Remote Desktop, and has the option of reclaiming file types taken by other applications. The Components are free and require Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later -- upgrade prices and information can be found at the Flip4Mac website.
