Can any of you click on this link, and randomly pick any movie to see if it plays ALL the way through on you computer.

For some reason on my Mac they do not seem to be playing all the way through. I do not have a PC avalible for testing. I do not know if it is windows media player for the mac, or if it is the websites servers problem. Thank You.

you might want to look into VLan. it has a version for macs and plays almost every format out there, including the latest .wmv format. doesn't play .rm, but otherwise it's a decent all around player.

VLC can't play the video (video codec is WMV3, which it doesn't support yet on the Mac), audio plays fine. My copy of WMP for the Mac played it just fine once I downloaded the file.
