    If you have WMP 9 or Flip4Mac installed, then you should be fine. However, the server appears to be overwhelmed. This may the the crux of your problem.

    They're probably copy-protected WMVs. There's no way to play such files on a Mac.
    Mac mini — 1.25GHz G4, 1GB RAM — OS 10.5.8
    MacBook Pro — 2.26GHz C2D, 8GB RAM — OS 10.6.8

    Useful programs: Privoxy, Butler, ffmpegX, VLC, Perian, Tofu, Wcalc
