Cablecast: Playing VOD files on the Mac

Cablecast SX VOD and SX live servers use Windows Media (WMV) encoded streams. These streams play out of the box on Windows machines. On the Mac however, we need to install the WMV codec to get the videos to play.

1.) Download and install Flip4Mac
2.) Click the link to the VOD stream
3.) Click play in the Quicktime Player (Quicktime Player dos not automatically play)
