Editing ASF Files. What software

[PanesarV]

I need to edit ASF files. I need to cut them. I need to put my logo as watermark on them. Is there a software that edits ASF recorded by Sopcast.

I need a VirtualDub alternative for it. Thanks.

Btw, any good sopcast recorder besides its own recorder and P2P TV Recorder.

Thanks in advance.

[Baldrick]

tried virtualdubmpeg2? it has wmv/asf support.

[PanesarV]

Ok I did that in VirtualDub MPEG

it says "No Video Stream found"

The files are recorded from Sopcast through "Sopcast Recorder"

Here's the file >>

Bump^^^^ Sorry

[Placio74]

Get AsfTools and use Lost Chunks option.

BTW
Video stream it's VC-1 - need ffdshow VfW with active VC-1 support.

I tried with another file recorded from Sopcast

Now, fccHandler just create plugins for VirtualDub.
VirtualDub-MPEG2 is discontinued.

Use latest VirtualDub (1.7.8 stable or 1.8.0 experimental) and WMV input plugin.

I just tried the latest VirtualDub-1.9.11 with the WMV input plugin as described, but VirtualDub still complains about the WMV file "does not have a video stream".

That's strange because that .wmv file plays fine in Windows Media Player. It is 1.65 GB long, though.

Any idea how to solve this?

Quite probably, that file was muxed incorrectly.

Try to remux it through AsfBin, or with SolveigMM ASF Multiplexer.
Besides, a MediaInfo report about the pesky WMV might be helpful.

Quite probably, that file was muxed incorrectly.

Try to remux it through AsfBin, or with SolveigMM ASF Multiplexer.

Thanks for the tips, I just tried AsfBin (GUI) and interestingly it cannot preview-play the file but it did read it and converted it to an ASF file. What do I do with the ASF now? Is there a way to convert it back to WMV, AVI or MPEG?

Besides, a MediaInfo report about the pesky WMV might be helpful.

This the report from MediaInfo, in case it can help getting additional insights:

Thanks for the tips, I just tried AsfBin (GUI) and interestingly it cannot preview-play the file but it did read it and converted it to an ASF file. What do I do with the ASF now? Is there a way to convert it back to WMV, AVI or MPEG?

Try renaming the extension to .WMV. Windows Media files (WMA, WMV) are actually renamed ASFs - mainly just a convention to make it clearer what type of file they are (WMA=audio, WMV=video), probably.

@ easycap001: According to the MediaInfo text, there seems to be nothing wrong with the "problematic" file, BUT, as Agent Smith said, appearances can be deceiving Try to play it in MPC-HC, not in WMP. If Media Player Classic HC cannot play the video, it's likely the audio and the video streams were "swapped" ( i.e., the audio was tagged as video and vice-versa
). I have found at least one borked media file (a .MPG one, to be exact) which had this "feature", and only WMP was able to show its video stream. Also, maybe MediaInfo detects video as video and audio as audio anyway, even when the media file was muxed improperly

You should check that WMV in Graphstudio, both directly (i.e., "Render media file") and in-directly (i.e., "Connect to remote graph", after opening the WMV with MPC-HC). If the media streams are actually swapped, then I suggest SolveigMM's ASF Muxer for trying to fix the problem.

Hope this helps.
