Someonethatreadsbetterthanthoseabove Guest | If you notice, he said he played it in Virtual PC, which is software for running windows and other PC OSes on mac OS X. Read and think before fools of yourselves.

Dominik wagner Guest | so here what i found out:
Windows media player plays WMV3
if you get an video that is actually in an avi container and conteins WMV3 you can get it to play in Windows Media Player for mac with help from mplayer:
mplayer -dumpstream
mv ./stream.dump .wmv
this wmv will play in windows media player, isn’t that nice?

zac Guest | I was able to play a WMV3 file on my G5 Imac using windows media player 9 I tried VLC-0.8.1 first and it would not play the file but it said it was a WMV3 file. Maybe the folks who are having difficulty with windows media player for mac have a corrupt file or their system cant handle the file.??...

Rom Raptor Guest | can wmp9 play something that vlc can’t or is totally pointless to install it on a mac?

nex Guest | i think you guys have this all sorted out now, but i just came across this thread via google (result #1 for 'wmv3 mac'), so for the benefit of other people who do the same: i think an alternative to virtualdub (which costs money AFAIK) would be the rad video tools (google for bink and/or smacker), which are freeware. i haven’t tried it, but they make use of all codecs you have installed under windows, so you should be able to re-encode anything you can play back (under windows) to a more compatible format.

MenTaLguY Guest | No, VirtualDub is free.

GC Guest | For those of you having trouble, windows player 9 WILL play your WMV3 AVIs.
The trick is that you have to change the file suffix from .avi to .wmv
You should be good to go.
Lame but true.

ToOnS Guest | Just one more things,
Flip4mac (WMV) can read wmv3 on a mac! What nothing can read so far, is a wmv3 movie embeded in a .avi file. That is the most common sort of wmv3 files you will come across and there isn’t any solution to that problem (exept converting the file to another format under windows).

crayfish Guest | Here’s a Japanese program that converts WMV3 into ASF called WMV3 Server (works on OSX 10.2.8 and above).
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Bay/8128/
Just open the WMV3/AVI file, and if the corresponds, click start and it will convert it into ASF and temporary install it in your library folder.
Once the conversion is completed, simply click the enclosed localhost.asx icon and you’re set.
Audio volume must be controlled by WMV3 Server.
So far it has worked for everything I put in.

Jimmy Da Loon Guest | I can play all avi on my G4 mac. just collect every quicktime codex that you can - many from wired or carracho.
Type in quicktime codex and start collecting.
Put them into your Library/Quicktime folder in BOTH the main HD and in your own section library.

Kit Grose Guest | Look at the Flip4Mac QuickTime codecs.

Marc Guest | Morons... It’s not an issue to create an WMV3 decoder for Mac or any other program on windows or Linux blahblah, the issue is that Microsoft has patented their shitty WMV-format and don’t hand out licenses for free - you have to PAY for a license to be able to decode WMV3 in your software.
This is the reason that free software like for instance VirtualDub for Windows no longer supports WMV3-decoding - the author got a legal suing on his ass for implementing WMV3-decoding in VDub without a valid license agreement from microsoft.
In short, anyone releasing software that decodes WMV3 without having paid M$ for a license will face legal threats pretty fast from them.

Marc Guest | With that said, btw., there are several commercial products apart from Microsofts own, for Linux/Mac/Windows that decode WMV3 (flip4mac, for instance). Commercial they are because something has to pay for the shitty license for the shitty piece of crap format.
Personally I can’t ever understand why people would want to encode in WMV-format since it just narrows down the audience who can view the media, and, as for the codec itself - just like anything else Microsoft tries - it just plain sucks.
Use the FREE formats and be happy... They do a better job.
