ANONYMOUS  Are you referring to the lock at the bottom of the Upgrade Pref Pane? This Pref Pane has always been locked but can easily be unlocked by clicking on the lock and entering your Admin password to unlock.

ALGOS  I think he means it locks up. Does the same on my MacBook running 10.5.7. I have all sorts of trouble since updating. Safari hangs when I play movies, and iTunes hangs when I try to play something. When System Preferences, Safari or iTunes hangs I can't even force quit it and I have to hard reboot my machine. Machine was running perfectly until I updated Flip4Mac.

MMUECK  Not sure what's up, but when I try to install this it gets most of the way through and then asks me to insert a disk to continue the installation...

F4M SUPPORT  The insert disk error message (which is very misleading) usually happens when FileVault turned on. Move the Flip4Mac WMV.mpkg installer to some location outside of the user's protected area. By default, the installer attempts to run from the Desktop, which is inside the File Vault protected area. Just move this file to either another volume if you have one, or anywhere else outside of the /Users/ folder. For example, /Users/Shared. This should allow the installer to work correctly. This anomaly is noted on the Flip4Mac Support Site - http://www.telestream.net/telestream-support/knowledge-base/kb-0083.htm

MMUECK  Thanks for the tip - it worked (I was using filevault). Strangely, I've never had a problem installing software within filevault before. Perhaps you're doing something non-standard...

ROBOTANK  I agree that PPC support in general should continue where practical, but for a G3? Come on. You can't ask developers to keep supporting hardware that old.

HOOT4WVU  Rather than downloading from MacUpdate I went to System Preferences and ran the update from my Flip4Mac App there. For the first time in ages it did say a new version was appropriate - go to free update. When I started my download however, I wasn't getting 2.2.2.3; my download said 2.2.1.11 (which is what I have presently have as Studio version.

I aborted the download & I'm confused.

CUNEYT  I am running 10.4.11 on an iBook G3 700 MHz PPC.. I am very much up to date with all other software, I have the latest Quicktime and so on.. I had no problems with Flip4Mac, until the latest version 2.2.1.11.. I regularly watch TV shows I missed back on the internet. I never had problems before but with the latest Flip4Mac the video becomes not clear but you see blurry all the time, I went back to 2.1.3.10 and that is working just fine for me for now.

for example, check this one out with (2.1.3.10) and also with (2.2.1.11..) installed http://player.omroep.nl/?aflID=8253696

HEAVY WEAPONS  I am running OS-X 10.4.11 with QuickTime 7.5.0 and have had no problems with Flip4Mac WMV Player until I loaded version 2.2.1.11. Now it will no longer load into Mac Preview ... it just keeps spinning. Does anyone know how to fix this problem, or how I can get a copy of my previous version of Flip4Mac back??

ARTISTICSHOWCASE  Is anyone having problem running the current (non-beta) version of Flip4Mac with QuickTime 7.5.5 and iTunes 8?

Anytime Windows Media files play in Safari, it crashes.
