QuickTime only natively supports a few video codecs such as H.264 and MPEG-4, which WMV files aren't encoded with. Of course, you might also use codec components to extend QuickTime to import or play a variety of additional media formats such as WMV. However, you need to pay about $29.00 for WMV playback in QuickTime, but no WMV management with iTunes, and no sync to iPad etc. as well as play DRM-protected WMV movies.
Here, I strongly recommend you another way. Just convert WMV to QuickTime using a powerful yet easy-to-use software: Hivimoore Video Converter Ultimate, support Windows and Mac version, that can convert common and DRM-protected WMV to QuickTime MOV in a few seconds with zero quality loss and 30x speed. You don't have to be a professional guy who's very familiar with hard-to-understand codec knowledge. With this tool, you can finish the conversion by a few clicks. It's that easy!
