PLEASE READ: I POSTED THIS ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO AND SINCE THEN THE DEVELOPERS HAVE BEEN WRITING GOOD REVIEWS TO COVER IT UP. THESE ARE THE FACTS:
I just got a brand new iMac G5 to replace my TiBook (August). I'm redownloading some off the software which I don't have on CD. I search Windows Media Player and find this. So I say whats the worse thing that could happen if I download it? Install it... Try it out.... Player works as stated, but plugin doesn't in safari. Then I go to uninstall. After uninstallation, Windows Media Player and WMP plugin STOPPED WORKING.
So I call this company up and TALK TO JOYCE. She guides me through everything I just did. Still nothing. Did an Archive and Install, still no help. Finally did an erase and install, which fixed the problem. When I was talking to her she said they had called their head engineer in to figure out the problem. Yet this program is still 1.0.2. BEWARE THIS PROGRAM WAS LIKE A VIRUS TO ME AT 1.0.2. Unless you want to to a erase and install, don't use this unless they have a fix in the future!
Version:
Program made me do an Erase and Install

Are your wmv icons now quicktime icons?If so then do a Get Info on one of the wmv files with the quicktime icon.
Under Open with: select Windows Media Player
then click Change All
Your wmv files show the Windows Media Player icon and will launch Windows Media Player if double clicked.
Flip4Mac worked fine in demo mode (only shows half the video) for most files but I got an error opening a 9Mb wmv file made by my company (GE), it opened fine in Windows Media Player (SUCKS but...)
