avi n asf files

[modsinister]

is there a difference between avi n asf files? if there is, is there a program that can change asf files into avi files?

Older versions of VirtualDub - v.1.3 or EARLIER - will accept .ASF files for input and convert them to .AVI format...

setarip, thks a lot. but when i tried opening a few files, there was an error. the error message is something like this "ASF: parse error-- too many segments in packet at _ _ _(_ expected) packet size =_ _ _, send time _:_ _" the blanks r there cos any number could be put in. so....wat does the message mean?

[setarip]

1) Are you able to play the .ASF files?

2) Did you download them froma streaming site, which may have added password protection to the files, in order to prevent copying/editing?

3) You could try loading them in to TMPGEnc...

n there were no askings of password when i d/l the clips. TMPGEnc? tat's the program i used to encode them into MPEG files but there's a problem there....to knoe the problem, u might wanna go to the thread called "mute".
