It's a common situation that when dragging your WMV files either downloaded from Internet or shared from others who have PCs to QuickTime for playback or other reasons, you'll be informed WMV is not in a format that QuickTime player understands. Yes, QuickTime only natively supports a few video codecs such as H.264 and MPEG-4, which WMV files aren't encoded with. Of course, you might also use codec components to extend QuickTime to import or play a variety of additional media formats such as WMV.
