ASF File Extension thingy

I have been downloading a movie with a ASF extension, it seems to be compressed because of the size, maybe a third the size of a usual movie download. Any one know how i can watch the movie, I have plenty of codecs, but they musn't support this file.

Cheers

If any one uses Kazza do you know a easier way to find movies.

Using MIRC and the right servers and rooms will give you access to anything you want
and ASF extentions always opened without a problem

this is a fun read for ya:

It's a Windows Media file, so you'd want to use the Windows Media Player (installed by default in Windows) to play it.

thanks people

It works on windows media player, but it turned out to be the trailer, not the full movie, which is a shame.

You can't preveiw it like other file extensions to see what its like, which is a shame.
