The Redmond colossus has officially ended support for playing such 
files on a Mac. So you should cease using any of their software. 
Flip4Mac has stepped up to the plate (and I believe are tacitly 
endorsed by "them"). My experience is that when a .wmv file is 
embedded in a browser page with other content, it will play in 
Camino, but the "rest of the page" is thrown totally out of whack. 
This behavior does NOT happen in Safari.

It's only a guess, but it seems Flip4Mac is, like a lot of web pages, 
pretty much aimed at not doing this in Safari, to the exclusion of 
other browsers mac users like to use. The curious thing is this same 
kind of thing we ALWAYS rag on many websites, that they aim their 
content on one and only one browser.

To me, the right question at this point is has Pink and/or others had 
conversations with the programmers at Flip4Mac.
