Lewis, thanks for your feedback.
I don't have enough experience to compare the two, when it comes to
decoding, which I why I asked.
Interesting however how the "old" WMP Player is still number 2 on
Apple's list of Video Downloads, and Flip4Mac is nowhere to be seen
on this page, nor on "Staff Picks"

I've been using the Flip4Mac codec since it came out over a year
ago and it
works great, and for the most part seamlessly (see below), unless
you are
trying to play drm-restricted content. Later on I bought the
version that
allows saving wmv to mov for my workplace. I don't have Final Cut,
but have
had no problems with Firewire capture with the codec present.
Microsoft has
stated that wmv played in this way will actually have better
performance
than via the old WMP Player, which hadn't been updated since late
2003.
