[zombienation]

Ok here is the run down

I have an .mpg file 105mb that i want to convert to mpeg vcd
the video plays fine in Zoom player in wmp9 it say the file is a mismatch of the extention do u wanna play. It plays fine just cant ffoward

Gspot details - file is asf (wma\.wmv)

Trying to open in Adobe premiere 6.5 - File was recorded at unsupported rate

Trying to open video studio 6 + Media Studio 6 - Contains no video data

trying to open Vegas 4 - OK BUT it plays but will not render screen all black.

here is the file propeties to give more help from

here is the problem

the type mismatch is because some nerd has renamed
the file to mpg it should be either intimate journey.asf
or intimate journey.wma

after rerenaming..... the file should be recognized
correctly......

one thing in addition the file contains an audio in variable bitrate

so you might get in troubles encoding it to mpg
(out of synch etc)

my tip would be....

get hold of the ASF TOOLS from this site
also install the windows media encoder from microsoft home page

reextract the asf files to avi with asf tools

this will make an avifile that contains a mpeg4 V3 stream and divx audio.....

load that into virtual dub.... ignore VBR warning and change the compresion of the the audio to wav using full processing mode in audio and use directstream copy on video...
save under a new filename.... use thhe new file as source for convertig to mpg

"How do know if the ext like above was changed"

You provided the answer ;>}

"Gspot details - file is asf (wma\.wmv)"

GSpot (and VirtualDub) read the file information from the header part of the actual file - not simply the name and extender someone gave to the file...
