Can't get wmv video to play

The box opens to play the video, but when I click on the play button nothing happens. What's going on? Is there a size limit? The video is 6.3 MB Does it make a difference that the file jw_allvideos.php has permission 644?
Take a look: www.sdst.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=713&Itemid=441
I need to fix this quickly. Thank you for your help.
Note: I never could get the wmv file to work. I converted it to a flv file and it worked fine but it's 4 times the size of the windows media player file. I'd still like to know what's going wrong.

Did you figure this out? I am having the same issueI believe I am doing everything correctly, but my video won't play. The name of the video is spartan_block.wmv. I uploaded it to our server in the images/stories/videos folder (and also made sure this is specified in the parameters of the plugin) Inside my article I used the code {wmv}spartan_block{/wmv}
