.WMV files that wont play on Flip for Mac

Awhile ago I downloaded a bunch of videos for a school project onto my old pc and they were played with Windows Media player - and saved them to CD as a data CD. Is there anyways I can play these files on a Mac? What would i use to do it? I've tried flip for mac and it's not working so any suggestions would be great.

How did you try Flip4mac? It plays most but very new WMV codecs are not supported yet.

If they will not play with Flip4Mac then you may as well give up trying on a Mac. Some WMV files are protected with Digital Rights Management that keeps them from playing on a Mac. You may want to try to convert them to a more QT friendly format on the old PC. Try uncompressed avi if you don't have QT PRO on the PC.
