“Providing a superior video playback experience on the Mac is important to us and is what Flip4Mac is all about,” said Barbara DeHart, vice president of marketing at Telestream. “We’re excited to provide this public beta release to continue offering official Windows Media playback on Apple’s latest operating system, OS X Mountain Lion.”
