asf or wmv to mpg

Is there a simple way either using mplayer or another tool that I can convert asf files to mpg and also wmv to mpg?

Thank you.

TMPGenc is not linux based or it would work great. The other sites are windows based mostly too,

i know mplayer will encode to mpg but not sure if it will work since the mplayer site says mpeg1 is not fully supported for audio playback after encoding.

I am however going to try to use TMPGenc on a windows machine, but any ideas on a free linux only tool?

Thanks lots.
