Possible to view .wmv and .avi files on a Mac?

(Beg pardon if it's already been asked/answered elsewhere.
If so, please post a link.)

Just wondering of anyone knows of a utility to play .wmv or .avi video files on a Mac, if indeed such an app even exists...All I know is, QuickTime won't do it.

Thanks!

try Windows Media Player.

No, I'm not joking - you can get it from Macroshaft's website.
Better than VLC, which I've also got but which is flaky.

Thanks, Derek.

I found a macroshaft(dot)org, but their site is apparently down. Could you sticky me a URL?

Coming up by sticky!

Here's another clue for you all:

He's talking about MS. You know- Mr. Bill's company?

You can try mplayer for mac os x.
[mplayerosx.sourceforge.net...]

I'm not sure if it plays wmv though.
