Comments on: How-To: Download videos using the .ASX URI & VLC http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2005/09/4216/ Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:18:29 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Derek http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2005/09/4216/comment-page-1/#comment-403248 Derek Sat, 23 Feb 2008 21:23:37 +0000 http://www.uneasysilence.com/?p=4216#comment-403248 I've been trying to download an .asx file from NBA.com and convert it into a .wmv file using this method. Everything works, meaning that I have a .wmv file that is saved locally on my computer - but when I try to "Import Into Collections" on my Windows Movie Maker it tells me that it can't be imported because it is not indexed. Also, when I open up the new .wmv file in Windows Media Player, it doesn't allow me to fast-forward or skip to certain parts of the video - I have to watch it "as-is" all the way through. Is there any way to get around this using VLC or is this just something I have to live with? I’ve been trying to download an .asx file from NBA.com and convert it into a .wmv file using this method.

It has the URL right there. You can also get the mms:// address by saving the asx file, then opening it with a text editor. It has the URL right there.

Also, you must wait for the entire video to load after hitting Ok to load the mms:// addy. Lastly, I had to check Dump Raw Input (which grayed out the other "Raw" option). Unchecking DRI and checking Raw under Encapsulation (apparently no longer a checkbox, but a radio button instead) made the resulting file unplayable. Hope this helps someone!

For example: mms://somewebsite.com/Patrol of Snow Your Eyes.wmv Try adding a % 20 to the URL, and off you go! (remove the space in between % and 20 and insert in between the spaces of the URL) Tip: some of the streams may have space in the name, this will cause VLC or SDP to reject the file.
