Windows Media Player (they are Windows Media Player files. Bastards.)

To answer your next question (I'm psychic), no you can't convert them 
to some other format. Bastards.

Actually, in OS 9 there is a little freeware program called ASF 
converter with which I have had SOME luck (ie it works SOME of the 
time) in converting ASF files to QT Movies. *This doesn't work in 
Classic at all, only in OS 9.*

If you're morally opposed to using any MS products, I understand that 
VLC Media Player (new version out today, 1.5.3) will also play most ASF 
files. VLC is Mac OS X only.
