About opening .wmv files on MacBook laptop

[JMoore1142]

I have a MacBook laptop computer. It is running OS X 10.4.11.............my
friends often send me emails with .wmv files attached. I have not been able
to open these files. Can anyone help me with what I would have to do to be
able to open these windows files on my MacBook. Thank you

You need to install FlipforMac -- it's a free download from Microsoft.

Note: Some WMV files have high-grade copy-protection applied. FlipforMac
cannot decode anything higher than WMV version 9 coding, so you will not be
able to play them.

If your friend sends you one of those, ask them to re-save it as a WMV
version 9 file so you can use it.

Cheers
