Opening up WMV files in Mac?

[bad1550]

Is there a way to open up a .WMV video file in Mac. I received an email with that extention but would not open up?

Thanks,

Bob

You can use VLC or Flip4Mac.

VLC is an entire media player (like Quicktime), but Flip4Mac is a plug-in for Quicktime that allows it to play wmv files.

shoot for flip4mac, i dont think you would want a whole other media player JUST for wmv, the flip4mac is a very useful plug-in

That's up to the OP to decide...you sound like Fox news, whereas I'm just presenting the various options

That said, I personally use Quicktime + Flip4Mac + Perian and can't remember the last time I had to fire up VLC (although I do keep it installed).

Perian is another excellent QT plug-in, however I believe the one format they have yet to incorporate is WMV. It's great for MKV files and the like though...

So yes, as with the others, I definitely recommend going with Flip4Mac.
