I downloaded the "Character Project - Rigging part 1-4" and trying to play the wmv-files my Windows Media Player (latest version for the Mac) goes: Can´t play movie file because it´s been compressed by an unknown codec". The movie plays, but i hear no sound...
Aaaargh! What´s the solution?

On the main download page, it does say that mac users will have problems with the sound with the tutorial...

"This tutorial series was encoded using windows media video, some Mac viewers may have problems with the audio in this series"

Yep, it's said that...
But it's said "problems", not that "You can't" ;-)

That means (at least in my case) running the video on a WMP ('round) version 7, under Classic. (U don't have to reboot... just "Classic").
It works for me.
That missed codec is an obsolete one, so it really does not help to have the latest version of wmp. Try earlier, instead ;-)

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs,
it's just possible you haven't grasped the situation.

Alfabreeze, you are my mate!
It´s true, the tut-movies play with sound running Mac OS 9 Classic and the Windows Media Player 7.1!
Thank to Rome!!!
Have a cool weekend!
Yihaaaaaaa!
