As already noted, Windows Media Player for the Mac. However, the Mac
version of WiMP will _not_ play all .wmv files. Some files are encoded
with proprietary M$ codecs and only the Windows version will play those
files.

For these files, have you tried VLC?  It seems to be pretty much a
fall-back program for a lot of A/V Files...

Go to:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp

and download the latest version of Windows Media Player.

It's free!

Good luck!

I use mPlayer. wmp really sucks -- and not b/c it's M$. It renders
video like crap IMO.
