What's new in this version:
- Added support for Apple's Mac OS X Snow Leopard. While support for the latest OS is good news, we'd like you to be aware of some changes in Snow Leopard that affect Flip4Mac WMV (see Flip4Mac WMV FAQs for more details):
- QuickTime Player X has removed export functionality to all formats other than standard Apple formats, including WMV. If you need this functionality, Apple continues to provide QuickTime Player 7.
- In Safari 4, Flip4Mac WMV runs with limited functionality.
- Safari 4 now runs in 64-bit mode by default, which causes Flip4Mac WMV to run with limited functionality. However, you have the option to run Safari in 32-bit mode.
- Local files now import in the background by default so that your movie is available for viewing almost immediately. If you prefer the previous behavior, this can be changed on a per-application basis in Flip4Mac WMV by going to System Preferences > Flip4Mac WMV > Player and clicking the Advanced button.
- The installer also includes a browser plug-in for Microsoft�??�?�® SilverlightTM, which allows you to play Smooth Streaming video content. This is installed by default. To disable its installation, click the Customize button on the Installation Type pane and uncheck the Microsoft Silverlight Plug-in option.
- Fixed bug that prevented ASX streams from playing in Firefox 3. Other miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements.

TO INSTALL WITHOUT SILVERLIGHT.....

Right-click (or Command-click) on the Flip4Mac 2.3.0.14 installer and Show Package Contents. Then just delete the Silverlight installer! It worked fine for me on a Late-2008 10.6.1 Intel MacBook. WMVs play in QuickTime, and when I double-click on a WMV file in the Finder it opens in QuickTime. It is unecessary, and both Microsoft and Telestream are friggin' EVIL for sneaking it into this app.

The purpose of Flip4Mac is to play as many types of WMV on your Mac as possible. Since Microsoft implemented Silverlight you must have it for media wrapped in that player. Without it, a whole bunch of folks may start complaining," Flip4Mac can't play . . ." Silverlight ensures that you'll play those files since Flip4Mac can't. NetFlix instant view is a good example.

You CAN create Silverlight with Flip4Mac.
Once your file is in Quicktime 7.x Pro (must be Pro)
File>Export>
In the Save Exported File As box
Export to Windows Media
Click on Options
You'll see four tabs
Video, Audio, Content, Silverlight
The Silverlight tab allows you create a WMV wrapped in Silverlight
just as one might create an FLV in a Flash Player.
