Windows Media Player is a player for one of the most increasingly common media groups found on the Web these days: Microsoft Windows Media. This player supports the following video codecs: MPEG4 v2, MPEG4 v3, MPEG4S, and JPG (Illustrated Audio); and audio codecs: WMAudio v1, WMAudio v2, Acelp.net, Voxware MetaSound, and MPEG II Layer 3. Version 9 for OS X supports the embedded playback of media in Web pages, digital rights management (DRM) functionality, and includes support for content in the Windows Media 9 format.
Note: As of January 12, 2006, Microsoft has officialy stopped development of Windows Media Player software for the Mac, and are offering Flip4Mac WMV instead. Versions 2.0 and later of Flip4Mac WMV are now provided free of charge, and the software is distributed (and essentially endorsed) by Microsoft as well. Therefore, the future of Windows Media on the Mac lies in the Flip4Mac components. Luckily, they are very good indeed.

the Mac OS 8.1 - 9.x version (7.1.2). to download the Mac OS X (Carbon) version (9.0).
Windows Media Player supports several video formats. As time has moved on, improvements to compression have led to updates, and older versions no longer able to load specific videos. If you are trying to open the video file from Windows Media Player directly and it doesn't open, then the file is either corrupt, or in a newer format than your Windows Media Player currently supports. If you are simply double clicking a file in the Finder and it tries to open in another program, that suggests the file Type/Creator code was set wrong, or the desktop needs rebuilding. Do you know how to set these, or shall I show you?
