WMV files

[bojowaggie]

So I have looked and seems there is no way to play WMV files on the droid..
HMM, i know these are Micro$oft files but there has to be a way to play them..

Is there a way that I have not found on the web to play them??

Thanks.

why not convert to mp3?

Well can't convert a video file to mp3 format.
I get WMV files in my emails and would like to be able to view them on my phone.

sorry, mixed up file formats.

Handbrake is a free application for your computer that converts WMV to mpeg4 (h.264) which is playable on your device.

Actually, you can. There's some software that does that.

Have you tried RockPlayer? I know it can play flv and divx files, so I don't see why it wouldn't play wmv.

Find an app that supports the format. Keep in mind that the Market doesn't have everything though:
wmv

Rockplayer supports wmv. So far, it's the best video player I've found, and definitely the most flexible.

RockPlayer is available in the market now too
