You need to download Flip4Mac. The free trial version is adequate; as you only require decoding support.

I would actually download VLC - it's an open source video player that will play ALL formats. Flip4Mac sucks imho....

That would work too, although for it to solve the problem, the original poster would have to download the web browser plugin from the following page:
