I have an .asx file that I would VLC to play(and record) the videos of.

This .asx file works with MS Windows Media Player but, not quite, with VLC.

MS Windows Media Player plays both videos in order.
VLC plays(and records) only the first video and stops.

The .asx file is as follows:

Usually because that kind of streams are using a proprietary Windows Media script that VLC can't deal with.
