This guide is to step by step teach you how to convert ASF movie to MP4 movie using Video Magic.

Firstly, I’d like to roughly introduce Video Magic which can:

• Convert HD video, DVD movies, multimedia files such as QuickTime, FLV, RM, RMVB, AVI, WMV, ASF, MPG, MPEG, MPE, M1V, MPV2, MP4, DAT, MOV, VOB file etc.

• Support Xvid(AVI), ASF, MOV, MP4(Xvid), WMV as output video format;
• Support HD video AVI, MP4, MPG, MKV, TS, WMV, MOV as output format;

Now we use Video Magic to convert ASF to MP4 movie.

Step 1: Load your ASF source files by clicking “Add File(s)”.

Step 2: You can author your ASF files because Video Magic offers clip, crop, watermark, subtitle, merge to edit video.

Clip any segment of your video to remain your favorite part.

Crop the video to cut off unwanted frame.

Click Watermark to add favorite text as watermark and adjust its position freely.

Click Subtitle to plug in desired subtitle and reset its vertical position.

Merge multiple video files into one with title or credits to continuously watch desired videos.

Step 3: Click Setting, choose MP4 as output format in “Profile” drop-down list. Video Magic classifies the profile in detail. You can directly choose a specific device as output.

In Setting window you can also reset the output parameters of bitrate, video size, frame rate, sample rate, channel.

Step 4: Reset an output folder for the converted files by clicking “Output-Browse”. Then click “Start” to convert ASF to MP4

After seconds Video Magic will pop up the completed information and the output folder.

What is ASF?

Advanced Systems Format (formerly Advanced Streaming Format, Active Streaming Format) is Microsoft’s proprietary digital audio/digital video container format, especially meant for streaming media. ASF is part of the Windows Media framework. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

What is MP4?

MPEG-4 Part 14 or MP4 file format, formally ISO/IEC 14496-14:2003, is a multimedia container format standard specified as a part of MPEG-4. It is most commonly used to store digital video and digital audio streams, especially those defined by MPEG, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and still images. Like most modern container formats, MPEG-4 Part 14 allows streaming over the Internet. A separate hint track is used to include streaming information in the file. The official filename extension for MPEG-4 Part 14 files is .mp4, thus the container format is often referred to simply as MP4. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
