ErikW Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I hate Windows Media. I thought it was just the old WM player on my old Mac, but no, it sucks giant ______ ____ with the latest WM player under Mac OS X. The video pauses while the audio continues, or the video runs with pauses in the audio, and the quality of the audio and/or video is usually crap. And that's with the downloaded media; the streaming media is beyond horrid. When I had a PC at work, it seemed things were a little better. This made me think Micro$oft purposely engineered the Mac WM players to work shitty. As if Mac users would suddenly say, "Hey my computer really isn't that good at multimedia" and jump ship. If you are encoding video, do us all a favor and use the vastly superior QuickTime or even MPEG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 If you are encoding video, do us all a favor and use the vastly superior QuickTime or even MPEG. Yes please! BTW, WMV does not mean Windows Media Video, it really stands for Worst Media Viewing ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.Hayden Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 MPEG!.. Quick time... forget it, why do they bother? When there's such a well known standard that works everywhere, why both these companies try to buck the trend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
