Starting point: ASF - ASF is Microsoft's streaming container that usually wraps WMV and WMA. Live-archive headers can confuse players; remuxing usually repairs them. Old codecs inside may need transcoding before modern players open them. Encode AVI (MPEG-4 / MP3) from ASF at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
