Windows Movie Player Vs Quicktime

Can someone assist me please, before I purchase any lessons from the site. They appear to run in Windows Media Player.
I have Mac computers only which run Quicktime for showing of videos. Will the lessons purchased here run on a Mac computer without windows software?

Hi, Brad. The movies are all Windows Media Video. I used to be a Mac guy myself and I know there's software that allows you to view them, so I recommend you do a quick search to see what's needed. Here's a link to a WMV movie; download it and see if you can watch it.

I hope you can figure something out!

This might work for you Brad - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...omponents.mspx

There is a downlaodable wmv file in this thread here - Electric slide improv ... download that and see if that works for you.

Cheers

Clancy
