I am a member of a forum that has some instructional videos that can be viewed/downloaded. They recently added some new ones (all are WMV) that will play properly in MS Media Player 9 for Mac but play properly in VLC or in Flip4Mac. In VLC and Flip4Mac, there's no audio, although the video is fine.

I became aware that they will play in the MS Player 9 when I posted a thread asking if any Mac users could get the video to play correctly. One of the members posted that he couldn't get it to work until he downloaded Media Player 9. I don't think he realized that Media Player 9 is old but it worked.

Anyone have any idea why it would work in the old MS Media player but not in up to date VLC or Flip4Mac?

I doubt every .wmv-compatible codec on the planet is supported by VLC and Flip4mac.

No I do not know why.

I do know that the problem of which you speak is in my opinion a fairly recent one and maybe just maybe it started with the Flip4Mac update. I have version 2.2.0.49 of Flip4Mac.

Does Flip4Mac WMV support all WMV codecs
At the present time, Flip4Mac does not support playback or conversion to the following Windows Media codecs:

Windows Media Audio Voice
Windows Media Video Screen
Windows Media Video Image
Note: Videos created using Microsoft PhotoStory are encoded using the Image codec.

Support for these codecs is on our roadmap and we hope to have compatibility in the near future.
