Flip4Mac is a great collection of codecs that enables us to view Windows Media files right inside of QuckTime. This episode tells you how it works.

It's official! Episode 1 is out, and available for immediate download! I'm also on iTunes. I have to admit, this is kind of lame, but A) it's my first attempt and B) it wasn't meant to be awe-inspiring. It's just a pilot for better things to come. My long-term intent is to showcase many things in my podcasts, including interviews with other Mac users, Mac Tips, tech news, and much more. If you have any input or suggestions, or if you want to be a guest on the show, please contact me. |
