Playing avi's with Windows Media 9 video?

[mikaelrules]

Hi, is there anyway to play these files on the mac? The have the avi extension but use the WM9 codec for the video. Media Player 9 for the Mac refuses to play this. When I open it with VLC, it complains that the codec is WMV3 and only plays the audio. When I open the file on a PC, Windows Media Player plays it just fine. Is there any way to open these on a Mac?

This is all I found on Microsoft's site:

Thanks
