Hi Jo;
Here are help tips that I received when I ran into the same issue that
you
are having.
Hi Mike,
I'm new here so let's see if I can help.
First the WMV file is a Windows Media Video and needs to be played in
Windows Media Player or some other WMV compliant player. You can associate
the file in Windows by going to...
1. Go to My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Options
2. Shift-Tab to the General Tab, and move right to the File Types Tab
3. Tab once, hit a "W" on your keyboard to jump down in the list to find
the
WMV entry.
4. Tab to get to the Change button which will open a list of programs,
find
Windows Media Player, Tab to check the box for Always use this program and
click Ok.
Done. Hope that helps! You can accomplish the same thing by navigating to
the actual file, hold your left-shift key while right-clicking the file to
select Open With and choose Windows Media Player in the same manner as
Step
4 above.
Thanks,

If you do in fact have windows media player installed, then you might need
to check if that file extension doesn't maybe have an extra space at the
end
or something which is stopping windows from recognising it and knowing
what
to do with it.
Alternatively, if you go to the file menu in that message, you can then
save
the attachment somewhere, and apart from then sort of attempting to check
the actual extension using the F2 key when then browsing to it in windows
explorer, you can also try something like the context menu, go down to
open
with... and see what is available there.
Stay well

I just received a file with a "wmv" extension and, of course, I can't open
it. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to open it and what kind of
file is this? Thanks.

FLAC is a compressed audio file but when it is extracted then it is
completely lossless. In other words nothing has been removed from it
compared to the original recording unlike MP3 files which are considered
lossy.

Just out of curiosity, why is it that this is considered the highest
quality of audio format, yet it's compressed? How does that work when
it seems a compressed mp3 file would have the opposite effect?

Hi Mike,
My pleasure, I just looked it up using the "research it" feature of
JAWS.
Just typing in "FLAC," then choosing Wikepedia, and voila!

Hi Stewart;
Thanks for the added info. I did convert the file to a ".mp3" format
and
this sound file wasn't worth the effort, but learning about the file
extension certainly was! Take care.

I believe it is a flash video file extention.
FLAC
Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is a file format for lossless audio
data
compression, primarily authored by Josh Coalson.

Hi All;
I recently received an attachment with a ".flac" file extension. I
tried
to
find it in the list of file extensions on the website with no luck.
Would
someone please tell me what type of file this is or what program is
most
commonly used to open such a file? I am running XPSP3 Home, OE, &
Jaws
10
latest. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take
care.
Mike
