What is a ASF File Type?

The ASF container format specifies only the streaming structure of the audio or video stream, which depends on various factors, such as network bandwidth and server performance. The ASF format does not specify the codec used to encode audio or video stored in the ASF container.

While the .asf extension can be used for multimedia files saved in ASF format, the .wma and .wmv extensions are more commonly used. If the ASF stores audio, it is usually saved as a Windows Media Audio (.WMA) file. It stores video, and is usually saved as a Windows Media Video (.WMV) file. The audio and video stored in these files can be compressed with the help of various video codecs.
