skymedic 0 #1 July 17, 2007 I have an .asf file that i would like to convert to a friendly file my 5th gen iPod can play. Any ideas how I can do this? I have all mac's at my home. So mac friendly apps would help. Thanks. If I bought QT pro would that work? Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #2 July 17, 2007 QuoteIf I bought QT pro would that work? Depends on where the .asf file originated and what digital rights management crapola is in it. So, as a blanket statement, I couldn't say "yes" but only "maybe". More on .asf here.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Low-Mao 0 #3 July 17, 2007 Qt pro only converts files that are playable in quicktime. Asf is not automatically one of those files but here is a website that shows how to acomplish this:http://echoone.com/filejuicer/formats/formats?f=wmv You could also use this program to convert your asf to mpg4(the best format for ipod):http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32071 This download is free for trial purposes. You'd have to buy it for $15 to get the whole file converted. *note: as mentioned earlier in this thread...if the file is copyright protected...this will not be possible.

Cashmanimal 0 #5 July 18, 2007 For all my file conversions that don't need to be special I just import the file into iMovie HD then "Share" it in mp4. Work fantastic. and it's free.It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
