if you watch many videos, this is a must-have!
@oldsystem : No, Perian will not interfere with Flip4Mac's WMV Player
I don't see .wmv support on the list. So this won't interfere with Flip4Mac then, right?

I just banned VLC, not because VLC is bad, but beacause I only want to have one media-player :-).
THIS IS THE BEST.
@ecable : try mplayer
Essential.
Coupled with Quicktime Pro, this becomes the ultimate conversion software.
Excellent! It does flv playback.
