    I have a video file that according to GSpot is an ASF comprising of MP43 video with WMAudioV2

    How do I convert this thing to an MPEG1 or MPEG2 for use on vcd/svcd or dvd

    Tmpgenc wont open it, Flask wont open it and neither wil bbmepg

    NOTE, the file WILL open in Realplayer so I am not sure it is a codec problem

    Any ideas people?

    Thanks in advance

    Actually, TMPGenc 2.5 plus does it, and maybe even the freeware version. Maybe there is a modification of VirtualDub which can load it, to check if there is any audio problem as written in http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/129217 (use ASF instead of AVI).

    So far I have tried the 1.3 version of virtualdub (the supposedly asf friendly version) but was met with an error message 'ASF: Data Chunk Not Found' when I tried to select the asf file

    Tmpgenc?, I went to environmental settings and clicked the 'output to AVI' bit instead of mpeg and a box popped up asking me to select a save destination, I selected one and then tmpgenc made its customary 'finshed sound' and saved an empty file to that destination rather than encoding the asf to avi then saving

    WHAT I am doing wrong??? lol

    I see that you have the dvr-390H, i just got it, I want to know does the thing actually play divx/xvid or not? I have tried copying a 50meg clip to it, and it didnt play it, I have also tried converting that clip to an mpeg4(asf) and it get the thumbnail but wont play.. all reviews have showed that the device does play divx... whats your experience been with it?

    PS: there doesnt seem to be a shuffle function on the mp3 player.. another minus for it, i'm thinking of selling it or taking it back

    so DVR 390H, are you saying that it does play divx, so how do you actually copy files that are divx or xvid to it, so you can watch them on the train, or on someone elses tv?

    Also, dont you find the lack of a shuffle function for mp3 annoying, you cant have your own jukebox like the ipod

    Thanks
