QuickTime 7.1.6 special report: Flip4Mac broken

We've received several reports from readers for whom the ability to playback WMV files with Flip4Mac is broken after updating to QuickTime 7.1.6.

"After I upgraded to QuickTime 7.1.6 I can no longer play WMA files through Flip4Mac."

Flip4Mac announced a "new" release of its WMV components for QuickTime -- version 2.1.1 However, the Flip4Mac download page lists version 2.1.1.7, which has been available since April 26th.

Telestream subsequently confirmed that the Flip4Mac 2.1.1.70 release posted on May 3 is the same build as the 2.1.1.70 posted at the end of April.

Still, simply re-installing the current release of Flip4Mac can provide relief for this issue in some cases.
