You should try playing it in MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC as well as seeing what CODECS are available for .wmv from Microsoft.
Let me be blunt. Microsoft is diddling with WMP 9/10 and I offer NO HELP to fix WMP. I hope you understand.

I'm trying to play a tutorial WMV file in WindowsMediaPlayer that is only coming up with a black screen. If I try to jump to a random part further on in the file it get a screen with out of wack video/colors.
I have the option of MOV files as well, thankfully, but Quitime doesn't do Full-screen very well so I'd like to get the WMV files to work properly.
Any ideas?
