Hullo, all.

I've got some video files in "ASF" format (A MicroSoft proprietary
format), which appears to have better compression than MPEG (by about
2X, it seems). The unfortunate part is - the only thing that'll play
them is Microsoft Media Player! UGH!

I'm looking for something for either Linux, OS/2, or FreeBSD (OpenSource
preferred for the former and the latter, compiled binaries for OS/2 -
Freeware would also be great, and Shareware would be acceptable (as long
as it's not limited in such a way as to prevent me from watching the
video(s) end to end).

Thanks in advance!
