Missing Plug-in for some videos

When I try to view certain embedded videos I get a "Missing Plug-in" message. The video on this page is an example:

http://cultruedcode.com/things/iphone/

I'm don't know what plug-in I'm missing. I've tried to view the video on Firefox and I get a similar message. Videos on other sites such as YouTube and Apple Movie Trailers work fine. I've tried reinstalling Flash but that didn't change anything.

Any suggestions?

Macbook 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

You probably need the following:

Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)

Perian from http://perian.org/

You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
