The obvious format would be a FLV file streamed using a flash player. The main program I use to convert files to FLV is a free program called &#8220;<a title=\"Riva FLV Encoder 2.0\" href=\"http:\/\/rivavx.com\/?encoder\">Riva FLV Encoder 2.0<\/a>&#8221; . This does not support WMV files :(.\r\n\r\nI needed to convert the WMV into an AVI , This can be done using a previous version of Virtual Dub (1.3 due to a Microsoft Legal Case in which WMV support for virtual Dub was stopped due to Microsoft owning the codec Error Message : ASF files are not supported) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oldversion.com\/VirtualDub.html\">Download Virtual Dub 1.3<\/a>\r\n\r\nAfter importing the file into Virtual Dub 1.3 , It produced an Error &#8220;ASF: Illegal Object Fragment flags 0a in packet at 14c0 packing size = 1f40, pp =12,\u00a0 send time: 0:00&#8221;\r\n\r\nAfter more research someone has written a Virtual Dub Plugin for WMV support for the latest version of Virtual Dub ( 1.9.0 ). You can download this <a href=\"http:\/\/fcchandler.home.comcast.net\/~fcchandler\/Plugins\/WMV\/\">WMV plugin by fccHandler Here<\/a> and follow the readme for installation.\u00a0 However this still produced errors when trying to reencode to AVI\r\n\r\nTo file the WMV (ASF File ) I used a tool called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pariswells.com\/upload\/asftools310.exe\">ASF Tools 3.1<\/a>\r\n\r\nI ran a Basic Repair on the WMV then Re-Encoded it. To do this you will need to download and install:\r\n\r\n<em><em>Download and Install Windows Media Encoder 7.1 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pariswells.com\/stuff\/Software\/Codecs\/wmencoder71.exe\">wmencoder71.exe<\/a><\/em><\/em>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"postbody\">Install this MPEG4 codec :  <!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.divx-digest.com\/software\/mpeg4codec.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.divx-digest.com\/software\/mpeg4codec.html<\/a><\/span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"postbody\">I then open the fixed WMV with Virtual Dub ,<\/span> set :\r\n<span class=\"postbody\">\r\nAudio : Direct Stream Copy\r\nVideo : Direct Stream Copy <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"postbody\">Then File , Save As AVI. This can then be converted with <\/span><a title=\"Riva FLV Encoder 2.0\" href=\"http:\/\/rivavx.com\/?encoder\">Riva FLV Encoder 2.0<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After capturing a video on a standard straight to DVD video camera ,The file was encoded with ASF ( Advanced Streaming Format ) ,I wanted to stream [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[119,121,115,116,113,117,118,120,114],"class_list":["post-142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-random","tag-wmv-asf-file-to-flv","tag-asf-files-are-not-supported","tag-asf-virtual-dub","tag-asf-illegal-object-fragment-flags","tag-download-and-install-windows-media-encoder-71","tag-download-virtual-dub-13","tag-riva-flv-encoder-20","tag-wmv-to-avi","tag-wmv-virtual-dub"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":148,"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142\/revisions\/148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pariswells.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
