Microsoft has released a Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox. The plugin obviously only works on Windows. "We couldn't respond as quickly as we would have liked to (we had to get Windows Vista out the door!), but now that it's shipped, the team has moved its attention to getting Firefox users up and running. This week we are happy to say that we have a new plug-in for Firefox that makes WMP work once again."

and in my case it even screwed up the WMP settings! Yes I've tried VLC before and went back to WMP. The problem was once I tried to watch videos with WMP it was just a blank screen with audio, no video. Uninstall VLC and the video playback worked in WMP.

That has nothing to do with VLC because VLC doesn't touch anything from WMP.

WinAmp may screw up WMP and WMP may screw up WinAmp, but VLC makes no difference on the system since it doesn't use or touch anything the WMP needs.

Well apart from the filetype registration, obviously. But that's not a problem.
