Default EMERGENCY: Having problems watching video online with my Mac.

I need help pretty snappy guys.

The World Superbikes start this weekend and I'm going to be watching here: :: SBK - Official Site ::

I'm running Mac OS X and it's telling me I need additional plugins to view but then that none are available.

HELP!

are plugins the same as codecs for windows systems ?

maybe this,

K-Lite Codec Pack for Mac?! David’s logbook

Codec-Download.com - Downloads

Download the DivX Codec and DivX Player - DivX Movies

Windows Media® Components for QuickTime

Telestream Flip4Mac WMV - Overview

Just a confirmation. I've gone to the site and viewed some of the media (well, it says "You're not authorized to view this" probably as I need a subscription or am outside the viewing area) and it does indeed seem to be using flip4Mac.
