You should have quicktime on your mac, but if not download it for free at www.apple.com

Otherwise download windows media player for the mac. It's pretty universal.

Hope that helps, big up for mac users!:respect:

Another one, which I vastly prefer to Media Player is vlc from Videolan (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)

Excellent player, which I use both on Mac and PC.

vlc works quite well, but I find it too buggy and quirky for my tastes.

There are plugs-ins for Quicktime which make it compatible with most of the odder end of the internet video spectrum. (Such as this one (http://perian.org/).)

Me too. Though 720p WMV files seem a bit iffy in it so I've recently switched back to Windows Media Player for WMV files.
