ASF File
Advanced System Format (formerly Advanced Streaming Format, Active Streaming Format) is Microsoft’s proprietary digital audio/digital/video container format, especially meant for streaming media. ASF is part of the Windows Media framework.
ASF file is primarily associated with Advanced Streaming Format by Microsoft Corporation. It often contains Windows Media Audio (.WMA) or Window Media Video (.WMV) data.
An ASF file consists of three parts: header object with information about the file itself; data object of the media stream, and index object which can support random access to data.
ASF file is unique for its small size which makes it easy to transmit through Internet. Data of figures, sounds, and motion pictures can all be contained in an ASF file.
ASF files are a proprietary file type created by Microsoft. It is a file format that includes both video and audio encoding. MP3, meanwhile, is an audio-only format. You can, however, convert an ASF file into an MP3 file with a web-based application. This process can be done on a Mac, but it also can be done on other operating systems.
