Don't forget we've got this coming soon, for Windows and Mac (PPC and
Intel):
http://www.microsoft.com/wpfe/
There is also a big update for Flip4Mac that should be out Real Soon
Now, and will address many stability, performance, and feature issues.
We want to make the Windows Media experience first-class on the Mac, and
I'm hoping we'll get there in 2007.

Subject: Re: latest Flip-4-Mac stability/usability
Frank,
1. I am no longer "the man" for WMT, more like the enemy as my company
has stated to the WMT team that we will be adding Flash to our delivery
options this year.
2. WMT on a Mac.
A. Pre-Intel macs running OSX simple use WMP9
B Intel Macs - here is info from our support group which also makes the
slide shows work:
If you have Flip4Mac installed, go to System Preferences and
disable.
Go to Applications folder and ctrl-click your browser icon (Safari,
Firefox, etc).
Select: Get Info
Under general, check mark/click "Open using Rosetta".
Now, Quit and Reopen your browser and go to the webcast you are having
trouble with. It may take a minute or two to load (it may appear to be
"connecting...") and it will. Once it does, you will see the slides
move.
Please remember to revert these settings when complete otherwise your
browser will continue to function in Rosetta mode. It may help to do
this an a secondary internet browser if you plan to view webcasts often.
3. Codecs - sorry, don't know codec situation well as we control our
codecs and always have to use legacy (WM7V, WM8V with WMA9).
4. DRM - no DRM for Flip4Mac as far as I know
5. OSX stability with Flip4Mac - Can't help here as we tell people to
disable the product.
Wish I could be more of a help.
