If VLC, then how? PLUS: Batteries Included
The trick is not to use the original installer. All you need is the Windows Media Player.app, you very much want to avoid the old components as they'll likely mean no end of trouble. Once you've acquired the stand-alone player, it will use Flip4Mac to translate the data stream.
To make the task of getting just the player without the installer a tad simpler. I've uploaded it so that you can download it using this short address: http://snipr.com/2x50r-fmueb8 This topic's .asf is also included in the folder. Please get it now as I don't know how long I'll have it here to offer. As for using VLC; That was my first thought coming upon and reading this hint, and, as we have Flip4Mac, why not Quicktime, or even iTunes? Yet and since, I'm left to wonder if this has been done successfully on anyones OS X? I've tried it on two older G3s and a G4 MMD FW800 all three running Tiger, as well as a MacBook Pro w/Leopard, in all cases with the latest VLC, and none of them will do it. I sometimes think I've every QT component in the known Mac universe, so unless that's the problem, it would seem I'd be well covered to succeed in those attempts. No, not here. I'd love to know how you got VLC to work. In the meantime; WMP, thanks to Rossetta on the Intel, works fine on all of them, and its mini player window mode, for all its retro charm, is ideal for this sort if thing. And as for paranoias, there's not much havoc it can raise without the parts you will no longer need to install. Enjoy P.S. There's lots of World news there too, and from a wide range of POVs. Blessedly for me I've yet to hear Ann Coulter, though now that you mention it…, that default mini player skin looks remarkably similar to some 1940's made-in-Berlin tabletop bakelite radios I've seen… |
