    Use any video converting program, like VLC.

    Learned something new. REP. Still I do not see using VLC to extract digital audio (MP3) from ASF files as OP mentioned.

    cheers ...

    Yeah VLC is probably your best choice. It's free and very simple. Just type into Google 'VLC Download' and it should be the first suggestion.

    That means only the images will be converted not the sound ?

    From what I read, VLC can convert video formats, but not extracting audio from a video. So media files are fine from one format to another.

    cheers ...
