My digital camcorder records into the MPEG4 codec contained in a .asf file
that only plays in Windows Media Player, not QT.  I would love to get these
into QT so I could get them onto my video iPod.

I downloaded and installed flip4mac, but it didn't have any documentation.
When I click on the app, it launches QT.  When I double-click one of those
video files, it still plays in Windows Media Player.  When I try to drag the
file onto QT, nothing happens, even if I cmd-opt-drag.  So, how is the
program supposed to work?  Thanks.
