Cannot Play WMV files

I have the correct player and play wmv files from other sources. After I download a wmv file I click on preview, or I go to library and click on launch. Either way i get the same problem. Windows Media Player opens but then I get a message saying that the path or the file name is not correct.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!

WHo the heck who uses OSX would want to view wmv files hahaha Ok, so QT can't play them & wmp always gives errors. So try out either VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (choose nearest mirror site) or see its abilities here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html

Or try MPlayer http://mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/ which is about the same (personal preference!)

Thanks for the quick response. I downloaded both players but neither work. When I try to use VLC I get this message: main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `WMV3'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

The other player just gives a farting noise (no kidding).

There are odd wmv files that the other 2 cannot play. Particularly those that have DRM licence links. Believe me, these files are not worth bothering with! In future might I suggest you aim for mpeg or avi. These are arguably the 2 best formats & less chance of spam being included!

And there will be a lot less farts during playback! lol
