This question may been ask before , but I like to ask one more time .

I know that there are some DVD player that can play AVI files. Now my question is:

Do they make any DVD player that can play wmv files format ?

Thanks in advance.

No, none that I'm aware of. This question has been asked enough times that I'd think a DVD player manufacturer would look into it, but no.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

Thanks you Dunker.

Yes, they should take a look at it, it takes too much time to convert from wmv to AVI . Just a couple lines of code changing the firmware on the DVD player, I dont know why they dont do that, or they need authorize from MS.

You're correct in that they'd need a license from Microsoft. An extremely expensive one, no doubt.

According the the Videohelp.com database, there are some Sigma EM8620L-based players that *SHOULD* support WMV9. These seem to really be a dedicated home-theater PCs (HTPC) e.g. the XBOX 360. I think these are pretty new to the market.

What Is This DVD Player For? If It Is For Your PC Then I Suggest A LITEON From Your Local Walmart. It Comes With Nero 6 And Cyberlink
Power DVD It Handles Allmost All File Types. I Bought One And It works Great With WMA Files.
