WMV Done Right, by Microsoft!

Microsoft is now distributing Flip4Mac's WMV QuickTime components for free! Previously shareware, Flip4Mac's WMV software makes WMV and WMA playback on the Mac transparent.

This is huge news!

That's what their $10 shareware version is too. The version that lets you export is $100 I believe. I doubt M$ would want to license that version And for 99% of users playback is all they want anyways.

When I close a WMV movie that's playing in QuickTime, QuickTime crashes and displays the Send Error Report window. Does the same for the web-plugin too, tried it on Amazon's site and a few others.

I tried removing the DivX plugins, but there's apparently no conflict there. Anyone else with the problem?

I think it's a problem with QT 7.0.4. Try reverting back to 7.0.3
