For the longest time, I have been plagued (like most of the Mac community) by the WMV3 codec embeded into a .avi container. These movie files would not play no matter what I tried or what I downloaded. It was frustrating to say the least.

But now – as I have downloaded the latest nightly build of VLC by Videolan, I can say it – it worked. That blessed, blessed free program played my files. I’m so happy.

Love them.
