QuickTime 7.1 Special Report: WMV media playing upside down

A handful of readers report a strange issue where Windows Media (WMV) files played via the Flip4Mac plug-in for QuickTime appear upside down.

MacFixIt reader Claude Cauwe writes:

"Very strange effect since upgrading to QuickTime 7.1 I have installed Flip4Mac since the beginning, and it worked consistently.

"Now, since QuickTime 7.1, the streaming WMV movies appear upside down and with a mirror effect. (You can see it on this Web site)"
