ESPN.com has made its video player ESPN Motion available to Mac users, the Web site announced on Monday. Sports fans can add or subtract video clips to or from Motion's playlist and watch streaming sports highlights in any order they want. The video can be enlarged or paused during playback, with a control available for the audio level. You don't need to download and install any software to make Motion work, although ESPN.com does recommend viewing clips in Safari, Netscape, Mozille or Firefox -- Internet Explorer only offers limited compatibility. The Flash 6 plug-in is required, however. more

ahhhhhh - no more living in the sports third-world... Nice to know that someone is even thinking about this. I wonder what the threshold of registered users running Mac's had to be before they made the leap???

It had nothing to do with thresholds, but everything to do with technological hurdles. Windows ESPN Motion requires an installer while Mac ESPN Motion. They appear to be fundamentally different in this respect. Nice to see it finally up. Wish I could comment more about it /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I go to download it (7pm Eastern US time, September 20) and it tells me that I need Windows 98 or higher, no Mac version available.
Does it perhaps need Flash 6 or just Flash 6 or greater? I have Flash 7 installed.
I'll just try again later...
