crossover plugin from codeweavers.com uses wine to run browser plugins. It's $25, but it works really well. They have a crippled demo that you can try for free to get a feel for how it works.

Another option is that alot of sites have the option for both win media player OR realplayer. If you download/install RealPlayer on linux, you can put the browser plugin into your plugins folder and watch videos with it. Another option (which I usually do) is look at the source for the page (Usually under edit menu) and find the streaming server address. If it's requiring win media player, look for extensions like wmv and asf. Find the full address to those files, and then open up something like mplayer and run it with:
mplayer -vo xv http://whatever/movies/movie.asf



Cool
