why is that everytime i get a wmv from a friend that has a PC, and i like slide the arrow to the middle it plays sound, but not video. it is like it is an emulation. a crappy one. any suggestions??? or does this happen to everyone?
because it was made by microsoft. I suggest downloading VLC Media Player to play all non-Quicktime movies.
WMV9 is just a crappy codec. Real media being only slightly worse. WMV just doesn't scrub right. And last I remember, nothing but WMP could play WMV9 files.
Compare WMP for Mac with MSN Messenger for Mac... not counting Office (something we actually have to pay for), Microsoft seems to rip all the guts out of their programs for mac...
