    Browsers don't play video directly. That's changing with HTML5, but not for wmv. So you need a video player that can play wmv files.

    Got to say, there's a ton of them out there for desktop use, I don't actually know of one that you could run in your site's visitor's browsers.

    If you're going to use video, much better to convert it to flash, which is very well supported in browsers and for which you'll find lots of help and support in this forum.

    Upload it to Youtube and embed it, minimally. At least then it will also play on crap like iPhones and iPads.
