It won't let you install?
Telestream are working on an Intel native Flip4Mac, but in the meantime, you could try this (I don't have an Intel mac so can't try this myself):
download pacifist, which lets you open .pkg files. Find the "Flip4Mac WMV Import.component", and copy it to /library/quicktime/.
Now, go to the Applications folder and duplicate the quicktime player. Open the info. panel for the duplicate and tick the "open in rosetta" checkbox. Launch it, and it might work. It's probably a good idea not to leave the WMV component in the /library/quicktime/ folder indefinitely. Only put it in there if you are using the duplicated QuickTime player.
If that all sounds like way too much hassle for something that might not even work properly, just use VLC or Mplayer.

Already tried that. It does not work either, but thanks anyway.
