Alternative to Vdub?

[Devanshu]

I have a clip that I downloaded and wanted to burn to a vcd. Unfortunately its in .asf format. When I encoded with tmpgenc and viewed the clip, it had no sound...even though the source does. I tried to extract the audio(to use it as a seprate source) but when I try to open the file with vdub, it says that "microsoft holds the patent to this format" or something like that...so what else can I use to extract the audio? Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

Look in the tools section for a program called ASF Tools,claims to convert ASF to AVI or extract audio.

get an earlier version of vdub that supports asf 1.3 or 1.4c i think

Where can I find an earlier version?

VirtualDub (tools page on this site)

..there's a link to 1.3c with ASF support on the page.

It works only if you have no other versions of vdub on your HD

The ASF version seems to work fine on my machine - with several other versions of vDub and nanDub installed.

I'm not sure why you've found it has be installed on its own mgh.
