.ASF Video Player? (Or Anything That Is Compatible To That Extension)

[KingLouieLouie]

I am wondering if anyone knows if there's a video player that can specifically play files with an .asf or what the best most common player is that happens to be compatible with that extension?

I've been watching a concert video using Windows Media Player and a quarter of a way thru, the player shuts off with the following:

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.

I tried to remedy the situation by doing a Google search of the extension and I thought I did come across the right codec, but to no avail....

Any helpful feedback would be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance...

Windows media player I thought, Winamp plays them all. You might have a bad file, casue media should play it. Those adult videos do not always work.

I've got a program that will tell you exactly what codec you need to play a media file... I'll try to dig it up tomorrow.

ASF (which is essentially the same as WMV) is a Microsoft format. It should work with Windows Media Player. The fact that you are able to play part of it should indicates to me correct codec but errors/corruption within the file. Can you skip ahead at all? You also might try to play it with the latest version of Windows Media Player.

VLC media is what I use for everything.

Do you attend any Cardinal home games? If so...I definitely owe you a beer... I d/led that program and the file actually worked on that player, so I really appreciate yours and everyone elses response....

Actually, the file is corrupt since the audio track jumps around quite constantly... It's actually a video of the Blur's '00 "Meltdown" festival concert which up until you provided the link to that media-player would (as I mentioned in the my initial post) freeze (didnt matter which media player I tried), but thanks to you now I can watch it all in its entirety.... Again.. I appreciate it and I definitely owe you one!

Ah don't sweat it. Glad it worked out for you.

I do go to Cards games now and then. I am too poor or else I would go to em all.
