What is Flip4Mac?
Flip4Mac is a QuickTime component developed by Telestream that enables QuickTime software such as QuickTime Player and QuickTime X to natively support the Windows Media formats. Specifically, it allows Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Windows Media Video (WMV) files to be opened, imported, and exported with QuickTime.
Some key features of Flip4Mac include:
- Full playback support for WMA and WMV files in QuickTime Player and QuickTime X
- Ability to import WMA and WMV files into QuickTime compatible applications such as iTunes and Final Cut Pro
- Export and convert audio and video files to WMA and WMV formats

Flip4Mac bridges the gap between the QuickTime and Windows Media worlds, making it easy to work with Windows Media content on the Mac platform. It eliminates the need for separate Windows Media components by building support directly into QuickTime. For anyone needing to play, convert or work with WMA and WMV files on a Mac, Flip4Mac is an essential toolkit.
