Early Wednesday, software developer Telestream has released version 2.4.2.4 of Flip4Mac, its QuickTime components package which allows for Windows Media files to be viewed, imported and converted under Mac OS X. The new release, a 25.2 megabyte download, includes the following fixes and changes:

- Fixed possible crashing and display issues in the browser plugin.

- Numerous fixes in the licensing engine to deal with closed networks and new installations under Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.

Flip4Mac 2.4.2.4 is available for free but can go as high as US$179 depending on the version purchased. The new version requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later to install and run.
