MPlayer handles WMV9 just fine.  It does NOT, however, handle the DRM
on WMV-HD DVDs.  I guess the smaller files don't have the DRM on them.

In theory, you should be able to use Graphedit on Windows to make a DRM-
free copy on disk, but I've never tried it.  I make it a point not to
buy DRM-ridden media until/unless it's cracked wide-open (like DVDs).
