Conv. .ASF & .VIV into WMP formats

[rupert86]

I asked these questions before, and somebody really answered me, but I've been unable to:

Convert the movies and audio tracks of 'need for speed' series into formats playable in windows media player or winamp.

Also, in help WMP9 tells that it supports .ASF but I am getting a msg of 'format not supported' when I try to run these files in it. So far, other tools such asftools 3.10 also have been unable to recognize the format. Maybe it is some proprietary format of EA to which they have assigned the common extension of .ASF.

Also, .VIV is very old format and I am unable to find any tools for it. I got a link but the server is always down.

P.S: Could somebody tell me how slow my system would get after slipstreamed WinXP SP2 install. It got much slower after SP1a already.

Your system got slow because you are running a very slow (by todays standards) CPU.

I would seriously consider a faster CPU, at least double your RAM. and think about a newer video card. I'm not suggesting it won't work, it will, but it will be dog slow...
