Disagree here. Once you install the w32codecs deb package, you should
be able to view most if not all WMVs. The only problems I've
encountered are with embedded WMVs that require a browser plugin --
such as The Daily Show archive. I've had mixed results with the
mplayer and gxine mozilla plugins.

YMMV
