Just moved over to a mac. What's the best way to view wmv files? Is there a free plug in for quicktime or do I need some other player?

yes, flip4mac is the best solution:

It's free for the player components, then quicktime should play them.

I use VLC as it plays everything: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html

But flip4mac is nice to have too, so that things like quicktime and frontrow play them too.

cheers guys

The latest incarnation of Flip4Mac is awful though, it seems to go through some sort of longwinded rendering process that takes nearly as long as it takes to play the movie. The older version used to delay opening the file for a moment, the new version opens instantly but renders while it plays, it means you can't skip forward through the movie if you want to.

VLC player is worth downloading, its a scruffier interface than Quicktime it seems to handle WMV files better and is good for crappy AVI files too. Keep quicktime as the default player and use VLC for anything thats badly behaved

Install flip4mac anyway as it helps for stuff like movies viewed through your browser

How did you get my photo?

Alternatively use Movist which is very good with WMV files and a useful extra.
