Hi
I don't think you can run .wmv file on a Mac without some kind of converter.
My guess is that you need to convert them to .mpg or something that a Mac can read.
I know this was the case in the past, I'm not up to date on the new Macs.

When I've had WMV files, I'm usually placed them into Windows Moviemaker and immediately exported them as lossless AVI files.
Anything can eat AVI files, but only PCs can eat WMV files.
Good luck!

Perhaps not strictly accurate: put 'wmv on mac' into Google and find
