I just bought a cute new video camera from DXG. I can't open the videos with
Quicktime so I downloaded the windows media player for mac, but it won't let
me open the videos. Message is that the player does not support this codec.
I want to keep this camera. Do you have any suggestions on what might work
with it? The company doesn't offer support for mac.

TRY OPENING THE MOVIE IN VLC INSTEAD.
It could also be useful to look in the documentation of the camera to
try and find out what video codec is used.

Alternatively, you could also try the QuickTime codecs for WMV files
flip4mac recently released.
