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

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!

Excellent, because it was annoying to only get half the video with a scrolling message saying it will only play half the video etc etc

Crashed QT7.0.4 after I saved it as a .mov, played ok though

Same here.

I'll watch something in QT via Flip then quit QT and I get a QT unexpectedly quit message. I haven't figured out how to make the browser plug-in work yet.

The Internet plug-in picked it up automatically on my system. The streaming video from one of my favorite sites had stopped working under WMP 9, but now works perfectly with the Flip4Mac plug-in.
 
Gosh darn, and I just payed ten smackers for the Flip4Mac Player the other week.

When, when, when will I ever learn?
 
I got an email from Flip4Mac saying I'll get $20 off any upgrade to their other versions since I bought the player already.
