I'm trying to get my mac to play WMV files. I found a program by "Flip4Mac" that lets you play WMV's with quicktime. Only problem is it has to download the file first, and the WMV's I want to watch aren't from sites that i want to be downloading from (nods as good as a wink). I've read in the Document that came with "flip4mac" that there is a way to set WMV's to stream through Safari, but i cannot find this option in the preferences pane. What do you guys use to watch WMV's?

Thanks for the help!

That's the only thing I can think of (Flip4mac). You might want to try Firefox and see if that works. I use both Safari and Firefox and am able to play WMV files.

I use both Flip4Mac and Perian for my needs.
