Well, not what I'd call "work," anyway. Comedy Central, no. CNN, no. Anything that puts up a pop-up like window with WMV in it, no, doesn't work. In other words, it doesn't do javascript, I guess.

Oddly enough, CNN works in Internet Explorer!

What I've done is construct two Automator apps: one that switches WMV into the Disabled folder, and one that puts Flip4Mac there and disables WMV. If I'm in Safari, I have to quit and relaunch it, but then it works. So, with WMV in the Internet Plugins folder, I can watch CNN, the Daily Show and some others in Safari. But with Flip4Mac in that folder, I can use it for some sites, but more likely with my iApps. (I have WMV Studio, so I can import Windows Media into iMovie or Final Cut Express, and then edit it.)

The web plugin doesn't work - Pseudo K

Ditto. Same experience here both on Comedy Central and CNN. Interestingly the Comedy Central site obviously passes the feed to the plug-in since the blank screen plays only half way through (in trial mode Flip4Mac is only supposed to play half the video). I'll catch up when the software is more polished. Good start though.<p>
There is an uninstall tab in the Preference settings. Hope it works.

Uninstall is manual - Pseudo K

Sorry, there is no uninstall tab to the Flip4Mac Preference Panel.
