Hi Pat, I'm a little puzzled because I did have a camcorder that recorded in .asf WMM2 handled it just fine. It is a M$ format. But when I went to the website they clearly state that it digital video is in .mp4.
Hmmm. Here is what I think you should do. Get a free copy of Square5 MPEG Streamclip http://www.squared5.com Streamclip can't open .asf but it can handle .mp4 If that doesn't work (and I think it will cuz it is a dang good program) there are other options. One of those is an on-line converter like the one at http://media-convert.com Just upload the video and download an converted copy in the format of your choice. MC can convert from .asf and .mp4 as well as others. If that doesn't work let me know and I'll round up a few others for you.
