Converting.asf to.avi or better?

[Jjangthekid]

Hey guys, well I have a video that has an extension of.asf. The quality of the video is crappy and is choppy, is there a way for me to convert that into a better quality video file?..

 

Thanks in advance.

Quality stays the same no matter how many times you convert it to a different format, the more you convert it, the more quality you lose.

You do realize that there's a huge contradiction in what you just said, don't you?

 

 

 

Or then I'm stupid.

Yeah, I kept reading it over and over again trying to make sense of it.

Follow it like Audio codecs. It's how I see it. The quality stays the same first hand, then seeminging if you keep doing it to said format to another format, quality degrades, like audio.

 

It just hit me I didn't say it clear enough.

But quality does degrade after each conversion, even if the degrading is unnoticeable at first.

That's what I was trying to say in my cryptic and condradicting sentence.

Then we're cool.

[Jjangthekid]

Hm, then is there a way for me to bring up the quality of the video file that I have right now, in any possible way?

[Wizard]

No. What you see is what you get.

the way i c it is, u can only degrade a file with converting, it'll never make it better, since (i don't think) u can't add more data to the file to make it better but u can only strip data from a file
