i have been struggling with this for about a week now, and i though i would ask 1 last question on the subject.
i download 5 .wmv files, encoded in wmv2 format
i have tried the follow editors to try to convert to .avi
all virtualdubs before 1.4 (1.1,1.2,1.3)
TMPGEnc
asftools
graphedit
The error message i get when loading the files in is
run code (0x80041002) (graphedit)
i get similar messages with TMPGEnc and others

If i use asftools to remove the header. I can load the files into any of the editors, or WMP , but it crashes after about 3 secs....
I believe this has something to do with the Windows Media License Encoding which resides in the header of the file.
I know cause i used asftool hexeditor to look....
I'm just wondering if anyone has a creative way to remove or repair a wmv2 header without damaging the files. (keep in mind that i have already tried every option the asftools advanced repair has)
Thanks in advance AH
