Getting round Demand Five not playing on a Mac

July 20, 2010 7:42 AM

Can someone help me watch older programmes on Demand Five on a Mac?

It seems from what I'm reading that they switched to Mac compatible videos in January 2009, but older videos come up with the message: "Unfortunately you can't watch this programme on a Macintosh because Windows Media Player doesn't support the security features used to protect content".

Is there any way round this? I've a feeling the answer is going to be 'no' but want to make sure.

I'm using Firefox if that makes a difference.

Have you tried Flip4Mac?

Tried Flip4Mac, doesn't seem to work (I checked with Safari as well, in case it was just a Firefox issue). Thanks anyway!
