File Description | ASF, short for Advanced Systems Format, is a proprietary video and audio container format that was developed by Microsoft, mainly for streaming media. It contains audio and video data and optionally metadata like title, author, and copyright data. Because ASF files only specify the structure of the audio or video stream, but not the encoding method, they can be encoded using a wide range of video compression methods. However, ASF files often contain Windows Media Audio (.WMA) or Windows Media Video (.WMV) data. ASF is a part of the Windows Media framework. |
