I have a panasonic sv - av 50 which i am trying to get some music files off they are held on the unit in AS1 format, for some reason, can anyone help

Can you email me one of the files, please?
A Google search doesn't immediately return anything informative but I might be able to tell you more about the file format if you send me one.

Are you sure its as1?
*.asf is a common format. (active streaming format)

Never heard of .as1
I have most audio and video codecs on my machine.

It's SA1, but that doesn't seem to help.

I thought I might be able to show how clever I am here, but apparently that's not a very impressive demonstration.

The utility I just ran on it reckons it's an MP3 (see below) but unfortunately if I change the extension & play it with Quicktime Player it just sounds completely alien. This makes me think that Panasonic have done "something clever" (read as "proprietary" with the MP3 format so that only their own software can read it.

I think that unless Panasonic offer any tools to convert this you might be SoL. On the other hand, if you can play the audio with the camera, maybe you run a cable to the input of your PC & do an audio-grab that way?

$ file /Users/stroller/Desktop/AOB001.SA1

Sorry not to be more help,

Stroller.

AS1 are a panasonic format converted from MP3 via real jukebox. should play with the panasonic version of real juke box

the reason why ask is i burnt cd onto this player then shortly after a cd player ate my cd, might just by the cd again seems like they complicated the situation for no reason

Its a long shot but perhaps if you just change the file type to mp3 by right clicking on it, sounds stupid, but works surprisingly often.

if you can play it with winamp, then you can convert it to .wav or/and then to mp3...

use the diskwriter plugin, standard, and play it and it will write a corresponding .wav file... this can then be converted to mp3
