I'm using Linux on an iBook, and I can read WMV7 and WMV8 files whith MPlayer, but it's impossible to read WMV9 files. MPlayer can only use FFmpeg to decode such files (on PC's it is possible to use Windows Codecs under Linux), and there is no support for WMV9; and WMV8 support is not yet complete: some videos play great, but others don't with some frames that cannot be decoded.
