Hi guys Hope you can help me. I'm trying to convert an asx file to a format that I can burn to a disc. I've found the URL using notepad: http://mfile.akamai.com/31723/wma/b...s/zurich/ro2/patterson_audio_ro2_module01.asx However, it just opens in windows media player and I'm at a loss as to how I convert it to a writeable file. I am no expert with computers myself so I would really appreciate an experts help. Cheers
You want an mp3 from this stream? If so, it can be converted using VLC. If you want the steps I can post them.
These were my notes from your fileick out what you need. Open a typical .asx file in Notepad, see this: <ASX VERSION="3.0"> <ENTRY> <REF HREF="mms://a11.v31723c.c31723.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/11/31723/v0001/brighttalk.download.akamai.com/31723/ssclients/zurich/ro2/patterson_audio_ro2_module01.wma" /> </ENTRY> </ASX> Highlight and copy this part of the link from the text above: mms://a11.v31723c.c31723.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/11/31723/v0001/brighttalk.download.akamai.com/31723/ssclients/zurich/ro2/patterson_audio_ro2_module01.wma ======================================================================================== Run VLC. On the Main screen, click 'Media' > 'Open Network Stream'. Paste the link that you copied. On the lower/right, click the down arrow and select 'Convert'. For RAW output:assumes the source is .wma audio as is listed in the link above. For 'Destination file', click 'Browse' and go to the Desktop, type a file name, e.g. Ro2_01.wma Click 'Save'. In 'Settings' check the box for 'Dump raw input'. Click 'Start' Aternately, for mp3 output: For 'Destination file', click 'Browse' and go to the Desktop, type a file name, e.g. Ro2_01.mp3 Click 'Save'. In 'Settings', select Audio-mp3 in the Profile drop down menu. Click 'Start' It now drops back to VLC Main window and after a pause, the conversion starts in real time. (In the Main Menu,if you click 'View' and checkmark 'Status Bar', in the lower left of the main screen, 'Streaming' will be displayed - note, after a pause, the scroll bar may start showing progress). In any case, the new file should appear on the desktop as it converts. When output is complete 'Streaming' will be removed. ======================================================================================== http://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/vlc_portable
Drag the .asx into Notepad. I played it from the link, it's only two minutes:saved it out of VLC, same length. <ASX VERSION="3.0"> <ENTRY> <REF HREF="mms://a1014.v31723f.c31723.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/1014/31723/v0001/brighttalk.download.akamai.com/31723/clients/zurich/12092_patterson_r03_intro_081210.wma" /> </ENTRY> </ASX>
