(Resisting using my Win > computers for the purpose.) Flip4Mac - costs a little and enables Quicktime to deal with most of them (but they take a long time to open in QT Player). VLC - free (but they still take a long time to open). FLV Crunch - free, converts them to other more tractable formats and is very quick (it's actually quicker to use this to convert to mp4, then open in QT Player than wait for QT/Flip4Mac to open the .wmv file, especially if you are going to view the movie more than once).

It's free for the useful playback part, and no longer does that "opening..." step you mention below. >VLC - free (but they still take a long time to open). > >FLV Crunch - free, converts them to other more tractable formats and is >very quick (it's actually quicker to use this to convert to mp4, then >open in QT Player than wait for QT/Flip4Mac to open the .wmv file, >especially if you are going to view the movie more than once).
