..windows media player in Mac OSX?
dunno if people have posted this (?)
http://www.versiontracker.com/dy…
but I stumbled upon this great lil app that lets you play/save all .wmv files in Quicktime, and play them in a Browser as Quicktimes!fan-friggin-tastic!

Don't use windows media player that often, but it seems to be OK - will have a look at that versiontracker thingy though.

yes it blows goats

that lil app is magic ^ give it a go.
once its installed, apple+i on a .wmv file on your machine, then tell it to open all files in Quicktime
done.

yes, it is utter shite - thank you for giving me something to ease the pain!
Now if somebody could only invent an app that would install all the missing plugins. (it says "click here to install the plugins needed. no plugins found. search manually? and you end up on microsoft.com! ARGH!)

VLC sucks ass
have you tried to play a DVD thru VLC ?? shite
Mplayer i find works better than VLC

I have yet to find a nice DVD player. The other day I tried to play my (legit, from a store) 24 season 1 in the Apple player - and it wouldn't play. All I got was audio. I tried VLC. Had to force quit. However it worked fine in my PC - running Mplayer. Stupid shit!
