WMV File Conversion
If you just want to play WMV videos on Mac, you can choose one of the above ways to do it. I personally prefer VLC player considering its powerful functions. But for converting WMV videos, a
video conversion program is a more sensible choice. A video converter is like an integration of all video format components.
WMV Studio, which is one of the Flip4Mac component series, can do the conversion. It cost $49 but can only
convert WMV to MOV files. In comparison, iSkysoft
Video Converter for Mac cost only $35. It supports all video conversion on Mac, including
convert WMV to MOV, MP4, iTunes, iMovie, etc. If you don’t want to pay extra $49 for like AVI component, get a video converter.
