Hi there.
Virtualdub stopped supporting .asf files from version 1.4 onwards (i think this is right, going from memory) because microsoft patented .asf and the program author cannot handle being sued.

I have the version on a cd somewhere, but can't think where it is, and am frankly not that arsed to look.

Search the forum here or use google, i's suggest using search terms "virtualdub" and "asf" -- thats what i did to find all this out.

i got virtual dub 1.3c and it says taht error still????

Try an older version. I didn't even know that anything above version 1.2 supported .asf files.

do u know where i can get 1.2c liek a website or if u could email me it at kev_kevin_44@hotmail.com

Faq me man do u want me to edit the thing for u!!!

goto:- www.google.com

enter search terms:- virtualdub asf

look at the 6th link down the page

click it, and then click anything that looks like a virtualdub download type thing

3 PAGES LATER you are on the main virtualdub downlink page, where you can download many different varieties of the excelent vdub.

Took me less than 5 minutes to get this info, and out of principle i am going to be such a hard and nasty bastard that i am going to make you wear your index finger out by making a total of 6 clicks from the google page. By the time you got this reply you could have downloaded it and finished your vid. I HATE LAZYNESS!!!!!!!!!!

well if ur at the website for virtual dub the home page you will see the download section when u click there then click download there are only 1.4 or higher of the program not 1.2 or 1.3a ????????????

OK, fair enough mate, i've possibly found a better solution for you,
try:http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/virtualdub.html

Look at the bottom of the page, you will see a specially adapted version of vdub for asf files, as to whether it works, i don't know as i haven't tried it. Good luck anyway!

hey man i used that site that you just posted and thanks for the site, are you talking about the vdub 1.4c with asf well i downloaded and opened it and tried to open an asf file but it says it doesn't support it because of microsoft
