Hi Guy,

 I have solution for your problem as you know Microsoft provides support for .wmv files by providing windows media player for MAC. So, they have also provided codec for MAC based on Intel.

This codec is known as Flip4Mac and its windows media component for QuickTime.

You can download this component here.

Edward.
