Notes on codecs
Mac OS X does not have native support for Windows Media codecs.
This includes .wmv and .wma files and streams using the ASF-format, which is in wide use on the Internet.
To play files or streams encoded in these formats (with or without the Octoshape plug-in),
you need

The Flip4Mac components for the QuickTime player is available for both PowerPC and Intel based Macs, but
note that Windows Media Player is only available for PowerPC based Macs.
