Hi all
Is there a way how to hack a file which is in an ASX format to convert it to
a WMV file for me to keep? I know that asx files are only read files that
direct you to the place where you can stream them. The asx file I have has
only like 4 kbs so I know that I don't have the full length video, but would
like to have it so that I can copy it on a dvd disk. Is this possible to do.
PLEASE help.
Thanks
Lisa

An ASX is a short text file that has a pointer to a WMV file. You don't

convert the ASX, you get the WMV file that the ASX points to.

Above is the link where the wmv is located, but I can't access it.
Do you know how to?
Thanks

It's looks like it's in his Yahoo briefcase you may need to be a Yahoo
member for access.Email him and ask.The link you posted is invalid.

I'm not sure whether running the ASX file downloads the WMV file to you
internet cache. Worth having a look.

I found out recently in a.c.f. that .ASX files are only header files
which refer to .WMV files located either with the .ASX file or even
a different location. I also use .ASX files for proper sequential
viewing of my .WMV files made from DVD .vob files.

Open the asx file in notepad. It could/should contain a link for the wmv
file, which can be downloaded by a program like Net Transport 1.87.

I get the feeling the file was once part of a Yahoo public Briefcase
but no longer exists.

Thank you!! I will give it a try
