This is the universal binary version that we've been waiting for. I've downloaded it but haven't tried it yet. I didn't see it on this forum, but it was posted elsewhere here. I know a lot of new users ask about .wmv, myself included.

he's referring to the fact that only moderators, MoTMs, and MoTM alumni can start new threads in the Rumors and Reports forum.

It's kind of important, why wouldn't this be here? Although it's not an report or rumor about apple.

I started this thread in the switcher's forum, and the mod moved it here. No great mystery.

And to answer the other question, Flip4Mac lets you play .wmv files via quicktime. There is no other universal binary app that plays .wmv and it was a hole in the seamless switching that Apple promises.

I couldn't find your post, even when I looked again. Oh well. This post is even on the front page now.

I finally checked it out myself on my iMac and it works just fine in both Safari and Firefox, but I didn't try Camino. The one thing though is that CNN asks whether this is a wmv v9 compatible player and Flip4mac doesn't seem to identify itself as such. There are options I'll need to explore, nothing earth shattering. I'm not at my mac now so I can't go through them.

It's here Like I said it probably need a better title.

I remeber something about Flip4Mac not supporting WMVA I guess thats the HD codec.

You're right, but usually there is some indication that thread was moved from one spot to another. In this case, it just sort of "showed up" here.
