Convert ASF to MP4
A file recorded from a Windows Media stream or an old surveillance system is an .asf and nothing modern will open it.

Where the streams already fit the target container this is a lossless remux, which is close to instant. Otherwise it re-encodes, which in a browser is slow — keep it under a few hundred MB and send long videos to the cloud engine.

What actually changes
ASF and MP4 are not the same picture in two wrappers.
The WMV or MPEG-4 video and WMA audio inside the ASF container are decoded and re-encoded to H.264 and AAC in an MP4.
Worth knowing first
ASF is the container that WMV and WMA both sit in, so a .asf file may hold video, audio only, or a script command stream. If a conversion returns audio with no picture, the file never had a video track.
Questions
ASF to MP4, answered
Is ASF the same as WMV?
WMV is the video codec and ASF is the container. Microsoft used the .wmv extension for ASF files containing video.
Why do surveillance systems use it?
Windows-based DVR software of that era wrote ASF by default. Proprietary variants of it are common and sometimes need the vendor player.
