ASF format...

[zenocha]

I have some vids in ASF format, but Vdub wont open them due to some legal reason, what are my options, can anyone recommend a good tool to convert these files to some format Vdub is happy with?

i think the error message contains the version number they removed asf support, or it used to anyway, just download a version older than that

Yeah - ASF is protected by Microsoft patents that have been enforced recently, meaning than most freeware that uses it has had to have ot removed. AS if M$ didn't have enough money already!

look for0 vdub version 1.3c that was the last version with support for the .asf video format.

Also can anyone recomend a good free mov to avi converter. I want to encode some animatrix episodes but theyre all in mov format.

I don't know for sure about ASF, but you can convert WMV (practically the same thing) to mpeg with tmpgenc, then to avi with vdub.

Its alright, i found that u can convert with quicktime n e way and theres an microsoft version of the animatrix to download n e way so thats in the pipe now
