Re: Playing wmv files on dvd player

Karen;

Many modern DVD players claim Windows Media certification, but they are
for WMA (audio files) only. The only known unit for sale in the US that
supports WMV is the Buffalo LinkTheatre. I currently own a Philips DV
player that supports a staggering number of formats (DivX, .avi, .mpeg,
etc), byt it does not support WMV files.
