how to play asf files???

[mayneu]

i cant play the asf files(.wmv & .wma). i downloaded these clips recently from emule. since its a .wmv file its refusing to play...

i tried opening it with vlc player, but it shows as if someone is pouring mixture of paints on the screen.....

when i used gspot to know more about file, it showed it as asf files. when i tried rendering it, it said rendering failed.

i know it has to be played in windows media player. but it keep on showing downloading media usage right..... and keep on showing that......unless i cancel it.

why is it so? how do i rectify this problem? is there by any chance that i can view these clips using any other player?

its a rare clip to be found on internet, anyone pls help me....

"downloading media usage right....." this is the message when i paly these files.... like .wmv. then it asks me to play a porn clip or cancel.only 2 options. if i play it, it says no membership found, if i cancel it, my file is not played...

why is it so? what a clip recorded on a tv shows got anything to do with the porn clip? that too for digitl rights?..... does microsft trade on this licencing business with porn clips?.... why this f*@#ing windows media player 11 is acting so weird???

i found the link for k-lite codec 1.61 on this forum only. sorry for replying without searching....

i was happy when u replied so affirmatively, but to my bad luck, even k-lite mega codec is not playing the .wmv file.....

its saying, cannot render the file...... what the hell does it mean???

can no one in this world play a media file with this extension with any player???
i think this is a challenge to the digitians....

i thought nothing is impossible in the software segment..... but i am fooled so easily..... i am truly hurt...i didnt get the help from here.....

Brother you are trin to play a protected wmv/asf file. you CANNOT play this file, unless you install the rights to play it(which win media player is trin to in your case). the file you've downloaded mus be a porn one and that to protected, which checks for your genuiness at the serve.thats why you are not able to play it. there is nothing wrong with the media player.

oh i see..... i cannot play .wmv files then. its a howard stern show clip man. i think u know what it is.

thats not a porn clip. its a reality based tv show. sometimes contain sexual material.

ok, anyway is there by any chance i can get those howard stern tv shows on the net? by any means other than by becoming a paid member?

I am also trying to play an .asf file in Windows Vista using Windows Media Player 11.

It keeps asking for an audio codec. So far I have none found one that will work.

This is an asf file made on a camera I own. I did not download it.
