It seems to be stream-only, and the server isn't allowing download access.

Also, from what I've heard, .asf is just sorta a playlist thing.

EDIT:

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.

The format does not specify how (i.e. with which codec) the video or audio should be encoded; it just specifies the structure of the video/audio stream. This is similar to the function performed by the QuickTime, AVI, or Ogg container formats. One of the objectives of ASF was to support playback from digital media servers, HTTP servers, and local storage devices such as hard disk drives.

ASF is based on serialized objects which are essentially byte sequences identified by a GUID marker.

The most common filetypes contained within an ASF file are Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Windows Media Video (WMV). Note that the file extension abbreviations are different things to the codecs of the same name.

That basically means that the asf isn't the file itself, it's just a link to the file, like a torrent or a shortcut.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

But is there a way to rip it? I can use Hypercam as a last solution.

This seems like a good plan...

Tried any... Alternative sources?
