Downloaded video is going to expire?

[sai]

I've just downloaded an *.ASF video from KaZaa, It's really nice and high quality!
But when I look at its properties windows, there's something like this....



What's going to happen after 29/1/2003? Is there any way to prevent?

[D_Knife]

you could try stripping out the license details with ASFtools
listed on the tools page - this might help

do us all a favor and tell us what happens on that day, so next WED let us know, i have a feeling its bogus.

What file is it? i bet its porn....

When you play the file now, it will seek for a licence, you will be granted a licence to play it now, after that day you wont be granted a licence, so it wont play.

Better convert it now

I've tried to convert, re-encode with ASFCUT, ASFINDEX and ASFTOOL.
But all of them can't read the file (Erreor: open failed)

Did you try this app? Go all they way down to the bottom of the page and select the "Stoik Video Convertor". I have used it with better than better results, although I have never used it on an ASF like yours.

Try it out.

Goodluck

It does not take the time from your PC

Virtual Dub 1.3 with the asf add-on file will let you import and then convert to another format.

Not on those types it wont

I still can't fix it...
graphedit give me a headache

Today, I've tried to open the file...the message said it's now protected, and ask me to acquire a license from the owner's website. There're only 2 buttons available, Yes & No, then I clicked "YES"....

After a few seconds, the video is now playable again! and the expire date in properties window is now change to 15/2/2003

It means I have a little more time to find a way to fix it!
