I recently got a new Mac (G5) but I've never owned one, I've always had PC's. Anyways I tried watching videos from eBaumsWorld (and other sites) and all I get is audio and no video. I tried downloading a couple things like Divx, Windows Media Player but still can't veiw it. Any advice, thanks in advance.

Go back to the PC.

Honestly, I don't have anything that would really help. Sorry.

Half the videos are in WMV(Windows Media Videot) format. I suggest you try a diffrent browser and when you install Windows Media player see if it lets you install plugins into your browser. Some thing else to try is to download the video and then run it in Windows Media Player.

I use Safari and Internet Explorer if that helps.
