is there a media player that will play ASX and WMV files?

got some short films (shot on a cell!:) from indie website, but my windows media player 9 won't play either asx (says 'windows media audio/video playlist' under kind) or wmv (windows media audio/video).
i have heard of websites that have free mac software, maybe they'd have an alternative media player....any pointers? thank you very much for your time

I've got Real Player, Flip4Mac. WMV, Mplayer and of course QT Pro but none seem to work with ASX vids.

Strangely the newer versions of flip4mac don't support .asx files so I had to reinstall an older version (2.0.2) that supports them.

i used to be able to watch .asx files on my mac, and now I can't. i think this newer version is the problem.

do you know where I could get version 2.0.2 or something that will let me watch videos from the adult swim fix?

It is definitely the newer versions of f4m that caused this problem. Unfortunately the flip4mac people haven't been able to to fix this yet despite the numerous complaints on their website. m lincoln if you want to install the 2.0.2 version just send me a message with your email and I'll send you the installer. Only downside of the 2.0.2 version is that you cannot disable the internet plug-in from the system preferences so if you ever decide to start using the windows player plug-in again you'll have to uninstall f4m manually.
