Popwire's WMV-9 Component for Mactels
Popwire is proud to announce a major update to the WMV-9 Component for Mac OS X and QuickTime to bring compatibility with Intel-based Macs. With the WMV-9 Component 2.0, in QuickTime you can now import, view and export Windows Media content to any format supported by QuickTime 6.5.2 or later. “This means that Popwire now offers the first Windows Media plugin for Quicktime with import/export functionality, supporting both Power PC and Intel based Macintosh computers. And with this also a free way for everyone, regardless of what model of Macintosh they are running Mac OS X on, to watch Windows Media content with QuickTime” said Anders Wannfors, CTO at Popwire. The unlicensed version of WMV Component 2 lets you import and view Windows Media content without any limitations, while export functionality is available for $50.

Flip4Mac supports WMV9, WMV8, WMV7, Microsoft MPEG4v2, Microsoft MPEG4V3, ISO MPEG4v1.0, ISO MPEG4v1.1 and several AVI formats.
Flip4Mac exports Standard WMV9 files (technohedz implies otherwise). Flip4Mac also allows one to affordably step up to 2pass CBR/VBR encoding, WMV9 Advanced as well as HD frame sizes and Surround Sound.
With all those additional features to support it might take a little longer for them to get the Universal version out.
