Very much echoing much the same question - I am mainly wanting WMV to work in Safari...
To expand on Placebo's post, virtually every MacOS/MacOS X application is a QuickTime application. When you install a new QuickTime codec, the new functionality is available to virtually every QuickTime-compatible application on your computer. Suffice it to say, this includes Safari.

I wish it'd include iTunes. I'd love iTunes to support more formats.
It should just work. However, you may launch System Preferences.
Click the QuickTime preferences pane.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click MIME Settings...
Click the Video triangle.
Check the Windows Media box.
Thank you very much. I'd just finished installing WMP9 on my intel mac when I saw this. Now to set the preferences away from VLC player (which seems to play NOTHING!).
Yes, you are. The OP has a MacBook, an Intel-based Mac. Microsoft is encourage users to use Flip4Mac rather than Windows Media Player 9. The UB version of Flip4Mac is still in beta. There will never be a UB version of Windows Media Player.

Plus, Flip4Mac plays WMV in QT Player, rather than the shitty Carbon junk that is Windows Media Player, with its no-scrubbing and outline resizing and all that.
I don't understand. Windows Media Player plays every WMV file I've ever downloaded (assuming it's not using some bizarre codec). Am I missing something?

This is not true. Download and install the Popwire WMV-9 Component QuickTime codec.

that's 49 dollar!!! Uh, NO WAY!!!
Edit: OK, jumped to conclusions too fast: viewing is free. Great now to try this at home! Anyone nows if this will handle wmv-streams as well??

Anyone have any tips to achieve this??

Ok, so I've tried this thing out, but I can't seem to get any wmv streams to open in either firefox or safari (I'm on an intel iMac).

Obviously.
