It's the usual solution.
Since I got my new MacBook Pro, I have not been able to watch movies in the wvm, t...mv, etc format. I get a message when trying that I need something else. I went to the Apple website and found several possibilities. I wouldn't mind paying for it if I were sure it would work. Help, please? Below is what I found on the website.
Thanks, Old Granny Lola
