Fix a Quicktime -2004 error with Flip4Mac Apps
If you are seeing Quicktime error -2004 when looking at an WMV movie embedded in a web page, try unchecking "Create Streaming Movies" on the Movie tab of the Flip4Mac WMV System Preferences pane.

I think this restriction may have been introduced by the Quicktime 7.1.2 or 7.1.3 software updates.

The QT -2004 error was happening for at least two sites which I visited recently - Channel 4 Shorts & Clips http://www.channel4.com/film/shortsandclips/index.html and Yahoo Office Attachments http://uk.entertainment.yahoo.com/office-attachments/index.html. With the option turned off they now work. I'm using Safari 2.0.4.

I'm by no means an expert in this area, but I believe a .ASF extension does not necessarily hold a WMV codec. Maybe the http://cgi.omroep.nl/cgi-bin/streams?/tv/vara/kassa/bb.laatste.asf page has some other codec?
