    Question HD WMV files not playing properly or at all. Any clues?

    Hi,

    I've got a few HD WMV files that have either no sound or are not playing at all. Any ideas how to fix this? Any repositories and / or non free stuff?

    Thanks

    some of those have DRM in them, so it might not be possible to play them.

    I think a lot of them have DRM in, and also I believe that it's a different codec to the standard .wmv files, despite using the same file extension
