since vlc doesn't work for for some fansubbed videos and the versions of of classic i have found only work for osx8.1
 
MS dropped support for the Mac version some time ago - I don't even know if they ever released anything for intel arch in this regard.

Have you tried mplayer? It's quite reliable.

edit: I'm assuming Flip4Mac didn't help you? In case you haven't installed it you should do that first (if wmv media is your problem).

does mplayer play all the codecs that mp classic can? and the trouble i am having is with some .mkv files in vlc where the subtitles are unreadable

I've found that Perian handles subbed (font styles, less CPU usage!) MKV files in Quicktime a lot more nicely then VLC.

In the development tracker they cite more improvements being made in MKV performance as well.
