Supports: ASF
Re-encode a Windows Media .asf file (typically WMV video with WMA audio) into a DivX/.avi clip for older standalone DivX or Xvid players and AVI-friendly editors. This is a true transcode, not a rewrap, so expect some generation loss — both ASF/WMV and DivX are legacy formats, and if you only need broad modern playback, converting ASF to MP4 (H.264) is the more future-proof target.

Yes, some. ASF/WMV and DivX use different codecs, so the file is fully re-encoded rather than rewrapped, and any lossy-to-lossy transcode adds a small amount of generation loss. Choosing the "Very High" preset or a higher constant bitrate keeps the result visually close to the source; aggressive compression presets trade more quality for a smaller file.
Both are MPEG-4 Part 2 (Advanced Simple Profile) video and play in the same DivX/Xvid-certified hardware. DivX is the proprietary brand that popularized the format; Xvid is the open-source implementation. Files made with either decode interchangeably on most standalone players, so a DivX .avi from this tool will play on Xvid-capable devices too.
DivX is a video codec, not a container, and it is most commonly carried in an AVI wrapper (which is what legacy DivX players expect). The download therefore uses the .avi extension with a DivX/MPEG-4 video stream and MP3 audio. That combination is what gives the broadest compatibility with old DVD players and AVI-based editing tools.
Pick DivX only if your target is a specific older device or editor that requires DivX/AVI. For phones, smart TVs, browsers, and modern editors, MP4 with H.264 is the safer choice — it is smaller at equal quality and far more widely supported. If you are not tied to legacy hardware, use ASF to MP4 or DivX to MP4 instead.
Yes. The WMA audio in your ASF file is re-encoded to MP3 inside the AVI so it plays on DivX hardware that does not support WMA. If your source has no audio track, the output stays silent — nothing is added.
Yes. Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically after a few hours — no sign-up, no watermark, never shared or made public. In our testing, a 60-second 720p WMV clip at the "Very High" preset produced a DivX AVI in the low single-digit megabytes with quality close to the source.
