Uh.. I think this was discssed in another thread...
You need (i think) the divx codec.  This media player supports just about everything, ergo, I reccomend it. (Also, I used it to watch the video :P)

Or, just install the codec it wants, read Xandria\'s post: http://planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?boardid=13&threadid=8434&page=1#14

Windows Media Player will look for the codec on a Microsoft server and usually fail. You can download the codec from divx.com and then play it with WMP.

Thanks Jose! I had been looking for something that would play WMV\'s, I refuse to install WiMP... oh, and I\'ll be able to see the video on my own computer :P

If you have Linux you can use MPlayer to play just about any video or audio file you can find. It can play Quicktime and Windows Audio/Video through the use of Windows DLL files.
