format
Windows
Mozilla, Firefox (all versions)
Windows Media content from transcoding lines (WMV format) and
archiving lines (ASF format)

The viewer won’t work in Firefox 1.5 as there has been no ActiveX plugin built for the FF1.5 release yet.

Windows Media 7.x and 8.x players do not support H.263 format playback, therefore users cannot use
these players for viewing content created with non-transcoding lines (original conference format wrapped
in an asf container).
