video problem

Hi,i just bought my first macbook 2 weeks ago and realy do not know nothing about it.my homepage is at&t which was bellsouth.net till about six months ago ,anyway,when i was trying to play the news video yesterday,i noticed that my homepage(at&t) does not open it up and telling me that safari deos not support video streaming from that perticular site and asked me to install wmv components from another site wich i did but still nothing changed,so i tried to give video playing another try from another website which is msn.com,same story.yahoo.com,same.
deos anybody know what the problem is and why i can't play any video news or movie trailers.thanks.mike

Try downloading Flip for Mac. It allows you to watch Windows-type media on Mac OS. http://www.flip4mac.com/download.htm

Hi xj-linux
Thank you for your reply,i downloaded flip for mac and still nothing is changed.when i open my application folder,it shows that i have the quick time installed,flip for mac installed and all other appropriated components to this matter,but still any web page that i open up,somewhere on that page shows the quick time logo with a big question mark in the center which is telling me i can not play any video,so,still at square one.
any other suggestions?.thanks.mike

The video may have proprietary Windows DRM protection.

can you please explain what kind protection is that and how i can remove that .

IF that is the problem, you are not allowed to remove it. The other issue is that Apple or a third party does not license that technology from Microsoft to run on OS X. In other words you would be SOL.
