    I've been watching a few WMV video files in Windows Media Player lately. It has crash three times so far... (the screen freezes...you have a repeating 1 second noise from movie...and you need to reset by Holding power button).

    I normally use mplayer, but that doesn't play WMV. Does VLC play WMV?
