Windows Media Player "bin" file installation

Dear Reader,
I am a new on ibook and I was glad to buy before some months ago
(as it looks) the last Motorola chip Apple computer.
I try play online Microsoft ASF video but can not.
Somebody know how to play that?
I like to try Windows Media Player 9. How can I install the xxx.bin file?
Thanks.

double click the .bin file. it will place another file where ever you double clicked the .bin. then doble click that file.

Dependency

Hi fearlessfreap24,
Thanks for your answer. I just download a dependency of Stuffit de Luxe for it and will try to install.

Doki,
Don't install WMP, it has officially been killed off by Microsoft for the Mac. Instead head to http://www.flip4mac.com and download the WMV Quicktime component which is replacing WMP.

I've been having a video problem with flip4mac, even if Microsoft stops support, it works and haven't found a site that it doesn't work with.. Is anyone else having a problem??

flip4mac works fine on my computer with safari. Have you got the latest version ?

Hi Schweb,
Thanks for the advise I will try it. (Without try the WMD for MAC. It need Internet Explorer. Until now only that I installed and the problems started with it that always freezed the Explorer: Beter leave it)

jram, thanks also but I am not so good in English and in the same sentece you wrote you have problem but the program work in every site.
That is the meaning if you did not find a site where it does not work.

"I've been having a video problem with flip4mac, even if Microsoft
stops support, it works and haven't found a site that it doesn't work with.. Is anyone else having a problem??"
I will report later.

(I have Linux in the desktop and there I use Kaffein what works perfect. Linux not works well on ibook)

Best regards,
doki

Hi Schweb,
Thanks again.
I installed it and functioning somehow.
For me it is OK but "somehow" mean for example I can not make Screen zoom. The processor was work all the time 100% and the temperature went up (until I did not closed the computer) to 63°C.
I not heard that the ventillator started to work and this make me worry. Now I check but if I not find what is the problem I will make a new question.
BEst regards,
doki

doki, I meant using windows media player I have no problem on any site.. I installed flip4mac and heard audio, but video didn't work.. I installed it 3 different times .. I must be doing something wrong. I might try uninstalling windows media, then trying the program.

Hi jram,
Thanks and sorry.
I told you my English ids not the best.
Will check also Microsoft to sure I have in one the best solution.
Now the problem is the fan control.

Did you restart Safari before you tried Flip4mac? I did that accidently the other night and it would not work properly unless Safari was completely shut down and restarted.

Works great here with Safari and Firefox.

Yeah, I restarted safari and FF.. I'll try again.. thanks
I downloaded, dragged it to my applications folder. That's all I have to do, right??

Click to expand...

The Flip4Mac I downloaded has an Installer. It was not Drag and Drop install. I had to run the installer.

The file inside the DMG when it mounts is Flip4mac WMV.mpkg. You double click on that and it will install.

go ta system prefs and settings should be at the bottom. Also its not just safari and ff you need ta restart, its any app that uses QT so that includes itunes and maybe others.

Thanks guys, I did it all wrong, oh wonder it didn't work.
Thanks again.

I just tried the program and it works..Thanks again

flip4mac. Hope not have to say goodby for an other program.
flip4mac is not so bad.
