However, with Perian only supporting older versions of WMA and now no longer being developed, Flip4Mac is set to become the most logical choice for users, especially because it is officially endorsed by Microsoft and effectively, the official Windows Media Player for Mac.įlip4Mac 3.0 is not just a plugin for QuickTime however. The most common solution for users has been to install a multimedia player such as VLC media player or a plugin such as Perian or Flip4Mac which both allow QuickTime to play WMV files.
WMV is Microsoft's own video format which by default, won't play on Macs since Apple's own video format is QuickTime.
