When I attempt to load a WMV file with Totem I get this error message:

Quote

The playback of this movie requires a Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) demuxer plugin which is not installed.

What is an ASF and where can I get one?

What software are you trying to use?

Try VLC, it should be able to open them.

VLC should and you can also try mplayer with the 'w32codec' packages. You can get those from pacman repos.

You can also install the codecs manually (they are windows .dll drivers).

And from where do you find those?

I use VLC on windows, it's simply great. I think it's still great on Linux.
