Why won't .wmv play on imac?

Hi.

I made a team video for youth football team using windows live movie maker and it saved as a .wmv. I then uploaded it on wetransfer.com and sent the link to the parents.

One of them says the .wmv won't play on their imac. Any idea why? Do I need to tell him to upgrade his program? I know absolutely nothing about macs.


Last year when I made the team video I uploaded it on vimeo which gives you the option of downloading it straight from there, but as a .mp4 file, which he says plays fine on his mac.

If I try to convert the file using Any Video Converter to .mp4, it doesn't come out too good. And movie maker won't let me save it in any other format.

Suggestions please...
