Fli4Mac is a component to do windows media video playback in
Quicktime. It's been available as a universal binary for well over 2
years, from http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm
That component (the playback part) is free for use.
You can also purchase licenses to convert video to WMV format from
within quicktime, if that's what you mean by streaming.
The options changed some time ago for Flip4Mac, in that the preference
was to stream playback as fast as possible (reducing quality) rather
than the more typical progressive download playback from a web server.
That was swapped round to favour progressive download, so I guess the
Quicktime folks meant you need to add-back the switch to favour
streaming, which is the Zip file at the bottom of the page called
"Flip4Mac Streaming Utility application"
That's just going to install a toggle on/off rather than let you do
any streaming yourself. So I guess it all comes down to if you're
looking for playback, or you're actually publishing video on the web
for a Mac in WMV format (if so, why ?)
