    How can I play .asf movies/clips/files on my MacBook Pro? I pretty sure I cannot convert them, put is there a way of at least playing them?

    Awesome! Thank you. While waiting for a reply I downloaded Flip4Mac and it seems to play well through Quicktime. Do you think VLC is better?

    Also, how can I use Airport through Quicktime? I want to hear the audio through my room speakers just like in iTunes. Does it only work through iTunes and no other program?

    Thanks so much!

    Flip4mac doesn't play everything. VLC does. (In my experience)

    AirFoil kinda sucks. I guess it ok for some things, but not for video. Even their site states that there is a delay between the video and audio via AirPort Express. Watching videos and having audio through my house speakers was a main objective. I still like AirFoil, but is there another program that can do video as well?

    if you are doing video to and from any deivce there is a way

    go to www.xbox-scene.com



    and go to there software section and look under xbox360 and then select streaming understreaming there is a application called twonky media it is a universal video conversion system for 60.00 us and it does everything windows media itunes and even allows users that have 360s to send video and music to any device

    neat huh

    "Audio Delays: Delays are inherent in transmitting to the AirPort Express. This is an issue with the AirPort Express hardware, and unfortunately there is no way around this."

    Bummer! Oh well. This explains why G-Force is slightly delayed in iTunes as well. Thanks again for all the help!

    VLC is pretty good. Flip4mac isn't bad either, if you want to stick to using Quicktime. In theory flip4mac should let you export asf/wmv files as Quicktime files. But I've never got one to work.
