Popwire WMV-9 Component
January this year, we announced Microsoft to distribute free WMV Component (by Flip4Mac), a component for QuickTime player to play Windows Media movies (.wmv). However, the Flip4Mac's WMV Component does not work on Intel-based Macs yet. The good news is, Popwire WMV-9 Component 2.0 has just released few days ago, and it is a Universal Application, it allows you to work on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macintosh computers under Mac OS X. (Thanks to SillyDog701 Member Pedro Saraiva for informing us.)
Popwire WMV-9 Component 2 is free for viewing and importing Windows Media content without any limitations. Exporting content required a license fee of US$ 49.

WMV-9 Component 2.0 also works for QuickTime based applications such as Final Cut Pro, iMovies.
If you have an Intel-based Mac, and would like to watch WMV movies under OS X, you might want to give WMV-9 Component 2.0 a try, and tell us how well it works.
System requirement:
G4 or higher or any Intel based Mac.
