I am curious if anyone has any comments or feedback from using flip4mac - wmv
plug-in for QT player on OSX.  

Thanks.

I've had *some* success with it, but I've also experienced a lot of
bugs. It pretty much depends ono what content you try to access.
Streaming wasn't easy for me in web browsers, especially since their
isntaller doesn't seem to even try to setup the system to use the QT
plugin in web browwsers once their codecs is installed so the only
workaround is to set it all up manually... tedious.
I also wasn't very happy with their support forum. The tone they use and
the answer they provide got on my nerves a few times.
You ca alsways try their product anyway. It'll play the first half of
the files. If you uninstall it, re-install WMP since they deactivate it
to avoid conflicts (you could re-activate it, but it's a bit tedious -
reinstalling should be easier ;-) ).

I have had so many bugs with flip4mac.  At the end of every video file
played, the program quits, be it Safari, Camino, or Quicktime.  Anyone else
had these problems?

If you've done the right thing and upgraded to Quicktime 7.0.4, there
are issues generated by the previous version of Flip4Mac. You should
get the most recent Flip component 2.0.1 from their site - the app
quitting should stop (it did for me)

HTH
