**asf** files (how do you play them on DVD player?)

#1 (**permalink**) July 8th, 2001

I recently downloaded some movies with **asf** extension and I burned it to a CD, but i can't watch it on my home DVD player.

Can anyone tell me how I can watch the movies on my home DVD player, or format it so i can watch it?

and yes, my DVD player does play CD-Rs!

asf is a window format, use windows media player to view it.

asf will not play on DVD players. I think it has to be mpg-1 format, not quite sure. I use Easy CD Creator 5 and it will check the files to tell you if they are DVD compatible.

Try posting questions at http://bearshare.net/ they will answer better and faster then there. They even have a forum just for movie questions.
