# as a mac user
I feel i must strongly protest. Bloody Windows Media files! It's wrong! Cross-platform file-formats are the future. Bah!

# Quicktime
perhaps?

Really, how could you forget the Apple-owned format :P

And we see a fine demonstration of how Stupidus Tittus makes a post to the b3ta messageboard.

# Get windows media player for the mac from
here. It'll play WMVs, but you'll need something like Quicktime Pro to convert them to movs etc, cos if you're OSXing, you won't be able to do screen grabs from WMV...

# oh cheers
but I'm not getting quicktime pro, simply because of that annoying 'upgrade now?' pop-up. I'm obtuse like that.

/thanks for the link, but it's typical pc logic to have to click 2 links that say 'download now' before having to SEARCH for the download link anyway.

thare is something similar for OSX (which igot rid of) but I'm not sure i like the idea of kazza anyway.
