Downloading and playing wmv files on mac

[rickm]

Have a user trying to download and play a wmv file
from a freeBSD website. It keeps streaming with no
option to download it. They cant right click and
say save as like in Windows.

Is there a way for them to download the clip? Path
is direct to the file and windows users dont have
any problems downloading it

Thanks!

They cant right click and say save as like in Windows.

If they hold down the control key and click the link, a contextual menu should pop up, and they should be able to download the file.

If you want to sticky-mail me the page/site, I'll test it here.

Just BTW, most of us Mac users have been right-clicking for years now, but every now and then you find someone still using a one-button mouse.

Thanks timster! I'll get them to try it out.

I'd be happy to send you link to test, but not sure
how the content would be recieved so think better not to... ;P
