asf converter

[flebber]

I was trying to convert my wmv/asf files so I could burn them to a dvd. They are c# tutorials from my learnvisualtudio account.

DVDFlcik and AVStoDVD cannot handle the video or audio format responding that audio format. Staxrip, HDC, ASXgui and Virtualdub do not support it. I have updated FFdshow to support the format

Doom9 has a guide but the link to the tool asftool was on a geocities account and is long dead.

any ideas on how to convert or burn to dvd.

Have tried Automen, Avidemux, Super, NCH Prism converter. Some can handle the video but non can handle the audio.

The only program that has outputted a correct file(most cant analyse film) is boilsoft http://www.boilsoft.com/asfconverter/ albeit with a giant watermark across the middle of the screen that makes analysis quality hard.

No other ideas?

Maybe ffmpeg can do it, the most simple cmdl would be: ffmpeg -i aaa.wmv bbb.vob

Does it play in MPC or WMP11 ?

Maybe you could construct a graph in graphstudio , and use DirectShowSource() in avisynth ? Render the file in graphstudio, do the pins connect?

Or Maybe they have some form of DRM protection ?

well its definitely the acelp.net audio codec that causes all the problems. However I did solve the problem with a windows solution so easy it was annoying.

I just used windows media encoder 9 and files copied to much larger file,
