Flip4Mac Revolutionizes Windows Media for Mac Users
April 15, 2005
Nevada City, CA - Telestream announced new Flip4Mac digital media tools for the Mac, enabling Macintosh OS X users to make, edit, and play Windows Media from within QuickTime-based media applications for the first time.
Now available, the new Flip4Mac WMV family consists of:
WMV Player - play Windows Media in the QuickTime Player
WMV Player Pro - edit, convert, and play Windows Media on a Mac
WMV Studio - make, edit, and play standard definition Windows Media on a Mac
WMV Studio Pro - make, edit, and play up to high definition Windows Media on a Mac
Until now, viewing Windows Media files on a Mac required downloading a separate player, importing Windows Media for editing was not possible, and until the recent introduction of the Flip4Mac WMV Export Component, making Windows Media 9 files was challenging, the company describes.
The new Flip4Mac WMV Player QuickTime component enables Macintosh users to play Windows Media files directly in the QuickTime Player, providing the first true Mac-like experience for playing Windows Media. The WMV Player provides an affordable, easy to use alternative for consumers and professionals, and also provides improved high definition Windows Media playback on a Mac.
Another first, the new Flip4Mac WMV Player Pro adds the ability for Mac users to import Windows Media files for editing in their QuickTime applications, including Final Cut Pro HD, Final Cut Express HD, QuickTime Pro and iMovie. Windows Media files can also be converted to other formats using compression tools like Sorenson Squeeze and other QuickTime-based applications. WMV Player and Player Pro support Windows Media 7, 8, and 9. For the Mac professional, WMV Player Pro makes it far easier to accept client work in the Windows Media format, edit or convert it, and then return it to the client in any supported QuickTime format, including Windows Media.
The new Flip4Mac WMV Studio and WMV Studio Pro replace the current Flip4Mac WMV Export and Export Pro/HD offerings released in December 2004.
The Flip4Mac WMV Studio solutions combine the WMV Player Pro and either standard or high definition export capabilities.
Announced prices for the Flip4Mac WMV Player $9.99; Flip4Mac WMV Player Pro ($49); Flip4Mac WMV Studio ($99) and WMV Studio Pro ($179).
