I'm trying to download this video off of a website and upload it into windows movie maker but I need the file to be a video file because it is currently in ASX and not compatible with windows movie maker. Thanks.

The type ASX is a Windows Media Player Playlist file.
You need to open it in notepad to find out the url of the actual video file.
1. Click Start.
2. Move over All Programs.
3. Move over Accessories.
4. Click notepad.
5. Click file and click open.
6. Click the file type box and select All Files.
7. Browse to where you have the ASX file and double click it.
8. Look for something like href="http://url".
9. If the url part ends in .wmv then you can just copy and paste it in a new browser Window and download it.
If you don't find it or can't follow those steps reply back with where you got the ASX file from.
