Have a movie in .asf format that I would like to convert to a format that
will play in a stand alone dvd player. Any Freeware available. I have a
cd/dvd recorder butmy "sonic now" software does not appear to do this?

you post that info.?

TMPGenc will convert it to VCD compliant MPEG-1.
TMPGenc 12a will convert it to SVCD (or even DVD perhaps) compliant MPEG-2.
You can actually burn a DVD with MPEG-1 video.

This is good then. You can transform the .asf file to say, an SVCD
format and put it on the disc type of your choice (if the file is small
- under 700 mb - then you can get away with using a CD-R disc.)

As for the format conversion, try this one:

John, that's an ASF to AVI converter. AVI is not amongst the formats Steves
DVD-player supports.

True, but it's not very difficult to find an AVI to MPG converter. On
the other hand, it may be easier to simply use TMPGEnc.
