| This request comes up a lot. To my knowledge, there is still no official way to do this. There is a kludge: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/news/ Snapz Pro 2 will take a screen capture movie of your WMV file and process it to whatever QuickTime paramters you want. You can thank Microsoft for their continued proprietery, exclusionary efforts.

| MindBend, thanks for trying to help... Is there an unofficial way to convert? I am unable to view the file, so I cannot use Snap Pro 2. My WMA viewer states I need a newer version, even though I have the latest version. I agree, thanks Micro$oft |

| Watch it in VLC, it will play pretty much anything, including wmv. Get it (for many different platforms) at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Then if you really need to convert it you can do the snapz method as suggested.

| I'm afraid there is currently no way to view Windows Media 9 content with windows media 9 video tracks and windows media 9 Audio tracks on a Mac, even with Microsoft MediaPlayer 9. The Mac version of MediaPlayer 9 will only play content with windows media 9 video and windows media 8 Audio. The same for pure windows media 9 Audio track. Both MPlayer and VideoLanClient (VLC) have the same limitations on the Mac at present. As far as I can tell, their is no genuine reason for this lack of functionality in the Mac version, but I suspect it is a deliberate attempt by Microsoft to make Macs 'seem' inferior to their PC counterparts by crippling their own software.
