Easy! You can play WMV files on Mac OSX with VLC Media Player for Mac. Here is the download link:

If you use Quicktime, you could also download a QT plugin called Flip4Mac.

Oh yeah, definitely. VLC works too. But if you want to play the videos in QT or at least render Quick Look properly, then you’ll need the Flip4Mac plugin.

You can use Elmedia Player to play WMV and other videos on your Mac (http://mac.eltima.com/wmv-player.html)
