How to play .dvr-ms files on a Mac
April 17, 2007 – 7:39 pm
Everything is great. You have a nice little computer set up to record your shows, and an Xbox to watch them on your TV. But what happens when you want to watch them on your Mac? Microsoft has discontinued WMP support for the Mac so your pretty much screwed right?
Wrong!
Where theres a will theres a way! Head over to MPlayer’s website and download their media player. It will play those pesky .dvr-ms files.

unfortunately, it plays the audio at normal speed and the video at 6-8x normal speed.

Just saw this post while looking for the same information. I installed MPlayer on my Mac and was not able to get it to recognize the dvr-ms file type on my machine. When I try to File->Open, files of dvr-ms extension are not selectable.
However, I do have VLC viewer on my Mac and was able to open the dvr-ms file type just fine. Hope this helps someone!
