wmv not sure what to do

I need help, I have a bunch of these wmv files and not sure how to read them. I am used to MPEG why the new format? and how do you read them?

 

Hi WMV = Windows Media Video

Will play fine in Media player, compact size and used a lot for streaming media.
I personally hate the format, but each to their own.

Cheers.

 

Thanks for the reply, I did try to play these in windows media player and divx and no luck, any thoughts

 

Not really sure, maybe the files are corrupt?
try using media player classic to play them, it plays just about everything )
Or try using gspot to see which codecs are actually used, to see if it is a true wmv.

Hope it helps.
Cheers

 

thanks, I will give it a try
