Flip4Mac has released a new vers of their windows media codec, 2.2.3.7. <http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17787/flip4mac-wmv-player>
Although it says it's good for PPC/Intel, it's broken on both G3 and G4. On G3 systems, it simply gives a useless "Mac OS error -50" message when you try to play any wmv file. On G4 systems, sometimes it works, sometimes it hangs the player, and sometimes it freezes Tiger. This is their second release that's broken in this way. When I inquired about the G3 problem, in early May, Flip support told me to revert to version 2.2.1.11 but offered no other fix. My impression from the support person is that they're dumping support for the G3 but can't be bothered to update their doc or web site or macupdate listings. Unimpressive.
