Hey everyone,

I had a Gateway laptop running Vista whose motherboard burned out so I figured I'd switch given the new 13" MBP and university student pricing.

I haven't had very much trouble switching, I've been doing alot of exploring and trial-error stuff. A problem I've come across, however, involves some .wmv files I transferred over from my old hard drive (I put it in an enclosure)

I have downloaded flip4mac and the files are viewable in Quicklook but when I try to just double-click view them I receive a message telling me that the file is not a movie file.

Any ideas?

The QuickTime plugins for 98% of non-DRMed videos just use Flip4Mac (http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm) & Perian (http://perian.org/).

Now what version of OS X are you running?
