I have just discovered something interesting : one can play WMV HD 720p video on a Mac!.Indeed, the required configuration window does not mention Mac :
On the website Doom http://www.doommovie.com, the trailer is available for download in QT and WMV format, including a WMV HD version. By clicking on the proper link, and you will download a 67.6MB zipped file. After unzipping it, you obtain a video file, recognized as a WMV file if you have Windows Media Player 9 installed. I clicked on it, and .... it worked!!
My computer: Power Mac G5 dual 1.8 GHz rev1 with Mac OS 10.4.2 and QT 7 pro, 1GB of RAM and a LCD 19" display (1280*1024). I have Windows Media Player serie 9 version 9.0.0 (3307)installed
We have tried on a PMG5 dual 2.5GHz. The video is playing properly, with some lag with some action scenes.
In addition Jean Jacques is mentioning to us a bug in Windows Media Player related to language support; it does not recognize letters with an accent.
