    cannot play this strange asf file

    When playing this file >>


    under window Media player 9.

    this error pop up >>
    The audio codec identified by the format tag 16D is required to play this file. To determine if this codec is available to download from the Web, click Web Help.

    But the Web Help still unavailable!

    I believe that it's possible you misread the audio codec description. It was most probably "0x160", which is the "DivX audio" codec that is installed as part of the DivX v.3.11 package.

    Let us know of your success ;>}

        I am not aware of any audio codec with the identifier of "16D". I can only speculate that your file header is corrupt...
