[G4] Windows Media Player question -- no picture

[Tony Gamble]

You might also want to look into Flip4Mac, a Quicktime plugin library  
that adds support for Windows Media, allowing you to play such files  
in Quicktime.  Rather than continue development of WMP for Mac,  
Microsoft has instead put their support behind the folks at  
Flip4Mac.   More info here: http://www.flip4mac.com/pr_06_01_10a.htm
