wmv probs
 

Naaa. vlc dont work

Sounds like you've not got the right codec, unfortuantly I dont know which codec you would need to get.

Are you sure that its a video file? I've seen people use wmv files for audio.

Look here:

wmv probs
 

flip4mac dont work either

It could just be the WMV file that's the problem. Have you tested other WMVs?

BTW, uninstall Windows Media Player as fast as possible, as it doesn't work at all.

no i havent got any to test. any ideas where i can get some?
