Not really, but you can install some components for Quicktime. 3ivX andDivX come to mind.

I downloaded some from Apple's QuickTime Components webpage but be careful, read the system requirements and check out what you would be installing first.

Some of those are old and aren't suitable for Tiger, while some others aren't suitable for Intel-based Macs. Others still are shareware or professional type plug-ins.

The upshot of installing the codecs is that it can often times make it possible to organise and play your media from within iTunes. I've added several divx files to my library and now they show up in Front Row...

Theoretically, this should also allow software like iMovie to work with these files.

Sadly, flip4mac does not allow iTunes to import wmv files, even though they play inside of QT.
