MSN Video

[MacFreak]

I tried to open MSN video but didnt work for MacOS X. The MSN Video is only for window not MacOS X? Is that true?

I found that certain files work, while others don't... you can try with VLC, it solved many problems with video files!

what is a msn video?

Any video on msn.com won't play on my Mac -- it detects that I'm using something other than Internet Explorer 6.1 (or whatever) and won't play.

Yeh, it actually is detecting the operating system... it's all bull crap. I told them to bugger off anyhow. I sent them a note about 6 months ago and they told me they would never support the mac...something about the digital rights managements.

Yep -- for some reason, Microsoft won't include the digital rights management in the Macintosh version of Windows Media Player.

It is bullcrap. All they'd have to do is remove the browser check and it would run just fine (possibly better) on our Macs. It's simply meant to keep other OSs out, which is silly.

MSN Video requires Microsoft Windows® 98, Windows ME,
Windows 2000, or Windows XP.

looks pretty straightforward to me.
