Question from forum:

"There is this .wmv file I have that is working properly. Then when I burned it to a DVD-RW using NERO, it wouldn't play anymore. Unfortunately I deleted the main copy. So I am left with this corrupted and hoping I could still fix this. I tried opening it via VLC it wouldn't play and same with wmp. I tried the Steeper and ASF thing, it said "file repair" and still when I try to open it via wmp it still says wmp cannot play the file, the player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."
