Heron:  For me, 'MPlayer' works better than 'Windows Media Player'.  
MPlayer is a Linux software ported to Mac.  I use Version 2 beta 4.

MPlayer Version 2.0 (includes mplayer binary version 0.90rc5 compiled 
15.04.2003)

Multimedia player with playlist, supporting playback of all widely 
used media types (MPEG 1-4, DivX, AVI, ASF, Ogg Vorbis, RealMedia, 
QuickTime Movie, MPEG layer 1-3, AC3, WindowsMediaAudio etc.) and 
movie subtitles of various formats (MicroDVD Player, Subrip, etc.). It 
is based on MPlayer - movie player for linux.

You can download the Mac OSX version (free) from:

  http://mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/

Good luck!
