From: Graeme Wall on 20 Sep 2005 09:28 Is there software that will play wmv files on the Mac? VLC and Quicktime just snear at it. -- Graeme Wall My genealogy website: <http://www.greywall.demon.co.uk/genealogy/index.html>

There's also Flip4Mac (commercial, but very cheap for just the viewer) which acts as a plug-in to Quicktime, and Microsoft's own Windows Media Player for the Mac. Not sure if Flip4Mac handles wmv 10 files though. I know the other two don't. Cheers, Ian

MPlayer? Neither VLC nor MPlayer have ever had problems with my WMV files unless they're corrupt. If all else fails, what about Windows Media Player from MS? -- Andy.

They won't play WMV3 files unfortunately, which means we are lumbered with the official Media Player which is an astonishing CPU hog. I've had mixed results with FLip4Mac, some of them seem to play much better than with Media Player, some slightly worse. -- Mike Jenkins Dreamcast/Gamecube FAQs - http://www.kwik-e-mart.org Mike's Auctions: http://tinyurl.com/2374h
