Hm the addictive quality of media has always bothered me.  People will
throw away a lot in order that they can get the music, movies and TV
content they have come to believe that they want.

Mplayer and mplayerplug-in are one answer to your problem, it will play
back most wmv and quicktime content.   mplayerplug-in integrates mplayer
into your Firefox webbrowser.

For FFC4, ATRPMS repo has mplayer.  Give RPM their key

rpm --import http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms

and paste this into /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo

[atrpms]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/fc$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
enabled=1

Then

yum install mplayer

Grab the mplayerplug-in RPM here:
