Watching streaming video is a chore because some sites will work with WMP for Mac and others you have to turn on Flip-4-Mac.

Chris, I think you have done something wrong in installing your Flip-4-Mac... I installed mine and simply forgot about it. It works inside Quicktime and will play any Windows Media File (except for the DRMed files) transparently to the end user with one click. Which browser are you using for your streaming content or are you using Quicktime?
