Not sure about the .asx, but I have been using a newer application (aviplay) that has played every single avi, and asf file (and done streaming too) that I can find. I dont get codec errors or whatnot. It also can do the Divix stuff, and more.
If your distro does not have a package for it, then you are probably looking at a bitof time to install it. (Many supported packages are needed and compilation of them as well as configuration is necessary.) I now use this for avi, asf etc playing in Linux over xmms. I still use xmms and others for non avi,asf, files like mpeg and the occasional qt/mov. http://avifile.sourceforge.net/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/avifile/ So far, it plays all avi that I have been able to play in windows. I'm impressed. -ME On Wed, 9 Jan 2002, Richard S.
