    It seems to me that the media player is not compatible with the fiv files that you are trying play, or the thing here is that it might also happen that the system of yours is not compatible with such sites and does not supports them, So what you have to do is just use the VLC media player that will help you to play such files and also one more thing that i would like to mention here is that there are downloads available on internet that will help you to download and install the VLC media player on to your system.

    It seems to me that you haven't tried the windows media player there are lot of edition of the media player for different operating system or i would say that depending on the operating system, So i would suggest you the windows media player 7. Because it contains the Advanced Stream Redirector. The Advanced Stream Redirector (.asx) files, also known as Windows Media Metafiles, are text files that provide information about a file stream and its presentation. ASX files go beyond the simple task of defining play lists to provide Windows Media Player with information about how to present particular media items of the playlist. Windows Media Metafiles are based on XML syntax and can be encoded in either ANSI or UNICODE (UTF-8) format. They are made up of various elements with their associated tags and attributes. Each element in a Windows Media metafile defines a particular setting or action in Windows Media Player.

    It seems to me that your system needs a media player that will play such files for you, and according to me your system fulfills the requirements windows Live products and you can use any windows product on to your system and i guess that the media player classic will help you to deal with it and also one more thing to mention here is that the latest version of the VLC media player also play such files easily, But in this can you please sent me the problems that you are facing during playing the video file.
