Windows Media Player for Mac

I downloaded this off of Microsofts website, however it only plays audio when I click on links. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks

Step 1. Buy a PC

Why would you even try to use WMP on a mac? I'm sure there is some lame mac software that will do what you need it to do?

VLC mediaplayer works good for all types of video. Downoad it here http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Mplayer is good too http://mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/

Keep in mind both are for OSX, if they dont work let me know.

They worked for video I had on my comp, but not for the stuff on the web. Am I doing something wrong? I just wanna watch some of the shit posted in the lounge

Step 2. Rethink your post, because it's not funny.

OP - You may find that it's a codec issue. So many people encode into AVI incorrectly these days it's unbelievable - you'll probably be better off getting VLC as mentioned above.

Maybe it's encoded in DivX or XviD? There's so many damn codecs out now...
