You can't.
Those are WinMediaPlayer exclusive files.....I believe referring to a WMP playlist.....or something.
Maybe someone else knows more....?

Hi all,

.asx files are merely text documents. They are used in adding certain data to the windows media player(author, next song etc...). If you are familiar with Real Media, they are much like a .ram file. One feature a .asx has is it hides the actual video and 'grey's' out the SaveAs feature of a player, so you can't do a save. Mainly used for embedding your file into a web page, I seem to remember Vegas 1.0 had a feature that would export a .asx for you, but it has since disappeared, much like the amount of ram used that used to be in Vegas Status Bar :(. Stream Anywhere can make the .asx files, and there are other free ware programs out there.

Regards,
John

Thanks for the useful informative information.

Would you know how I can change an *.asx movie file, to DV AVI format?

thanks fuzzzzy

>Would you know how I can change an *.asx movie file, to DV AVI format?

You cannot - asx files are just text files that *point* to media files. If you open an asx in notepad, it would look something like this:

<ASX VERSION="3.0">
<TITLE>The Title of the Show<TITLE>
<ABSTRACT>
Brief description of the show.
</ABSTRACT>

<ENTRY>
<REF HREF="YourMediaFilename.asf" />
<TITLE>The Title of the Track</TITLE>
<ABSTRACT>
Brief description of the track.
</ABSTRACT>
</ENTRY>

</ASX>

Any questions?

YES one question :)

how can I open asx files in VV?

Or change them to a different format...any format ?

Is this a trick question?
You would want to find the file that it "points to"....and bring that in Vegas?

I did a quick web search, and found a utility WHICH IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE for DL which allowed compiling of these asx files for custom "PLAYLISTS"...or something...that's it. Maybe Bill Gates says "don't touch".

I think you may be SOL on this one.
