Default Converting asf files to Quicktime

I want to convert some asf files to Quicktime and don't want to pay a
Shareware fee. Is there a freeware application that will do it?

Or can Quicktime do this if you upgrade to Quicktime Pro?

Quicktime can't natively read ASF (WMV or WMA files). However if
you're using a Mac - you didn't say - there's the Flip4Mac components
available free. They can read the content, as a result QT Pro can
export the ASF content to QT native.

Flip4Mac as the name suggests, is Mac only - you can grab it from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...omponents.mspx

In general, QT is worth paying the $25 or so even for occasional work,
it's just a shame it's not available as part of the standard player or
QT would see much greater market penetration IMO.

HTH
