hawken Guest | OK, here’s the solution.
In your Applications/Utilities folder, run Audio MIDI Setup. In the audio devices tab, change the audio output settings to 44100.0 Hz and 2ch-16bit.
That’s it! Apparently this problem is caused by VLC, which switches the audio output settings. Quicktime and WMP really don’t like this for some reason and will create audio errors.
Enjoy!

HumeMan Guest | I have always been able to play MPEG and WMV on my mac (osx 10.4).
All of a sudden today I tried playing an AVI in MPlayer but it only played audio. I trashed the file and tried playing an MPEG in QT and it wont work!!! Plays the video but no audio!
I tried Windows Media Player and that wont play anything at all...says error reading codec!
What the hell happed that would make all my files junk?! I did some digging and I noticed all my mpegs are mpeg1 muxed.
I dont know if they have always been muxed or if MPlayer did something to them. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

tryingtohelp Guest | I had tthe same no audio problems with media player I found the answer in mac help.
Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
Quit Audio MIDI Setup.

davidlaska Guest | Remember that a codec that is for a pc is not always available for a mac. So even if Microsoft tried its best to make mac,s windows media player the best as possible, still without a codec for seeing the video it will not work. And their are so many pc codecs out their that microsoft has no control over to make a mac version. In fact codecs are so important that my mac can play pc files that a pc can play if the codec is not installed. For example TechSmith.com makes a codec for (compreser and decomp.) both the mac and pc. But that is not the trend, Most are made for a pc. WMV file or AVI or MOV are played if the codec is installed. A MOV file can be any number different codecs and yet it is a MOV file (quicktime).

Davey Guest | I’d like to thank Shin up above for the detailed instructions on using VirtualDub to fix a video that someone coded in WMV3 (rather than the XviD that they _had_ been using). VLC still won’t handle WMV3, and I won’t install WMP9, so the VirtualDub instructions were a Godsend.
More posts like that, please!
Thanks again!
Davey

davidlaska Guest | Microsoft ended support of Windows media player for mac (OX) and suggest flip4mac and quicktime as an alternative. flip4mac version 2.x is the latest for quicktime 7.4

TaiwanIndependence Guest | The WMV3 stuff has confused myself for a couple of months. The problem got solved after I downloaded “Windows Media® Components for QuickTime” from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=915D874D-D747-4180-A400-5F06B1B5E559&displaylang=en
Unpack this pkg and install the folder “Flip4Mac” in the Application folder (simply by unpacking you will get this folder installed afterwards). There will be a file called “WMV Player," drag an WMV3 file over this application will evoke Quicktime to play. Wait a couple of seconds (or minutes), you will see the movie.
Hope this help!
Happy Chinese New Year

HikoSeijuurou314 Guest | Yes, I found that with Flip4Mac installed and QT, I could play my avi-wrapped wmv3 files. Although I didn’t know it before because it would take around a minute or 2 to start. I thought it was making QT hang, so I would force quit. But I realized that it was actually working when I had the Get Info screen open for a while then suddently the preview started to work. Anyway, I do believe the solution is to get the latest QT and the latest Flip4Mac and then open your files with QT. It may take a few minutes, but let it load.

Dookie45 Guest | Ok, wmv3 is a bitch, but there are some that wmp plays. I just had 3 different files. At first none worked. I downloaded the latest WMP (and I feel a bit akward for doing so) and only the one of them works now. So every now and then it will work, just don’t count on it.

Bobthe man Guest | I downloaded video with a .mpeg extension to my Mac (OS X 4.4.4). It came up with a QT icon. However, QT kept giving me a useless error message. VLC’s log gave me an error message about missing WMV3. This forum suggested renaming the extension to wmv and running Media Player 9. It worked like a charm, thanks.

ADD [./stream.dump .wmv] THIS LITTTLE SECTION TO THE END OF YOUR FILE NAME, INSTEAD OF AVI/WMV,
AND IT WILL PLAY IN WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER!

funkyb Guest | The free version of Flip4Mac seems to solve all my WMV3 viewing problems on an OSX 10.3.9 G4 Powerbook. The instructions are simple to follow and downloading, installing and viewing took only a few minutes.

HikoSeijuurou314 Guest | Once again I have hit a brick wall. I somehow got one file to play using Flip4Mac and QT... but now no matter what I do, I can’t get this new file to play. Funny thing is, I finally got One Piece ep. 254 to work (that was my previous post), but now the very next ep (255) won’t work at all. I have tried everything suggested. Renaming, streamdumping, using VLC, using Flip4Mac and QT, WMV3server, etc, etc. By the way, I never could get WMV3Server to work, even if it did say “Server Started”. I would double click the asx file and it would give me an error about something in the wrong location. Is there something I have to do to get ssmt servers working on my machine? If anyone wants to give it a shot, the file is One Piece 255 RAW at this website. http://bt.saiyaman.info/

Noah Guest | Ok first of all... even with flip4mac or wmp9... there is still a chance that ur mac can’t handle some wmv3 encoded files and for the looks of it... the only chance u got is to convert it on a pc or virtualpc...
and stancwong... find out what kind of codecs are being used video and audio as well... maybe than there will be a solution for ur problem...

xshawnx Guest | get the free flip4mac codec fot QT then rename your file from .mpg to .wmv,

davidlaska Guest | This is not an issue Microsoft could solve even if it wanted to, so they can,t be blamed for something they don,t control. It is the Codec maker who are to be blamed. A lot of them will publish a PC version only and if a mac version is available, it usually is not as good. The wmv and related are container files like quicktime movie files. If the codec is not installed, neither play on any platform. So if anyone wants to bash Microsoft, at least do so were it matters. Any bad guy loves someone who is trying to get him on something he did not do, because the focus is of what he is doing.
