Improve Windows Media playback for $10
Authored by: raider on Jan 10, '06 09:22:11AM
I have been using Flip4Mac WMV player for a long time now, and It is pretty good. Nothing fantastic, and I don't really know why this is a "hint". It is not really even worth a pick of the week.

But it is absolutely worth the $10 price tag. At least to me - cause I can now play most of everything that my buddies send me.

It even plays more WMV codecs than the Microsoft player for OSX. (Which is why I bought it.)

Microsofts player does not play the latest WMV formats, and Flip4Mac does.

Flip4Mac however does not handle streaming very well....

For anyone looking for more codec support, DivX now has a current Mac codec player, and there is of course VLC and MPlayer too.
