I'm using vlc media player which will play practically any movie format available. Not to mention its free.

Note to Admin: A topic in the FAQ page or (even better) in each individual video cast post should explain how to play the videos. For the newbie sake.

can i downloadsomething to let windows media player play these files?

I'm not sure, but iTunes/Quicktime plays them fine. I recommend getting it because it has a great podcast receiving engine. Works better than WMP in my opinion and it's completely free.

sorry for the late response.
but yes, Jimm has it here.

using iTunes as the videos are in iPod video format, an that format is meant playback with quicktime/iTunes.
VLC might work but i have never tried it.

if there are any other questions please let me know
