ASF to Cell Phone: Convert ASF(Advanced Streaming Format) video to Cell Phone with River Past Crazi Video
What is
ASF?
Advanced Systems 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.
The format does not specify how (i.e. with which codec) the video or audio should be encoded; it just
specifies the structure of the video/audio stream. This is similar to the
function performed by the QuickTime, AVI, or Ogg container
formats. One of the objectives of ASF was to support playback from digital media servers, HTTP servers, and local storage
devices such as hard
disk drives.
