A
very common problem for Mac users is playing Windows Media Video (WMV) files.
When your Mac tries to open WMV files by default in QuickTime, you’ll commonly
receive an error message along the lines of ‘This is not a movie file’. The
reason is that WMV files use Microsoft proprietary codecs that don’t work in OS
X. This gets really annoying if you come across a WMV file and want to watch it
on your Mac.
The
most versatile player out there, AllPepole media
player lets you play WMV files without any Plugin, although it’s only a
playback solution; it doesn’t let you edit WMV files in QuickTime supported
apps including iMovie and Final Cut. The great thing about AllPepole media
player, however, is that it’s lightweight, fast, and can handle almost any
media format you throw at it.
This
player emerged out of the Google Codes project as an attempt to create an
all-round player. AllPepole media player is a simple but powerful video player
designed specifically for Mac and can handle WMV playback.
You
don’t need Windows Media Player to watch WMV files on a Mac, and with AllPepole
media player, you’ll have no problem opening and enjoying WMV files from the
comfort of your Apple computer.
