Yes, however I had an exchange with someone 'in the know' at Rev  
yesterday - he said:

"This was fixed in 2.8.1 specifically because of the conversation we  
had in Malta.

There is a checkbox in the Preferences that lets you turn off “load  
QuickTime on startup”.  You have to set dontUseQT to true before you  
load any movie.  As Rev loaded QuickTime in the IDE this previously  
impossible, thus the bug."

So I tested what they suggested and it still seems broken to me.
I am trying to do 'due diligence' prior to 'seeking remedy'... once  
again.

Perhaps a new bug needs listing if it isn't the dontuseqt that is  
preventing play of WMV files.
