SL: WMV files on Quicktime X?

[California King]

Can Quicktime X play wmv files without Flip4Mac installed? All my wmv files have "Flip4Mac" as the default application and can't seem to change it to Quicktime X

I read that QT X cant play mmv files without Flip4Mac, something to do with microsoft codecs, but it was late when i read this, i may be wrong 😉

Yeah, I tried uninstalling Flip4Mac just to see for myself, but I guess I didn't do it right because it's still running when I open a wmv file. Also, how do you get a wmv video to play on a webpage? I'm using Firefox and can't get it to load AT ALL. Had to resort to copy and pasting the url into quicktime...

Anyone been able to run a wmv movie in Firefox?

Give MPlayer a shot, it works great.

Install the Flip4Mac 2.3 Beta package (just search the tubes for a direct d/l link, in order to avoid registering for their spam/bullsh*t at the website). Everything works fine after that (even on the real, pure x64 kernel)--older versions of Flip4Mac are not 10.6-compatible.
