ASF Video Format

ASF Converter

The ASF file type was developed by Microsoft in the mid-1990s. Now it’s more commonly known as Advanced Systems Format, but it was previously called Advanced Streaming Format. The streaming part of the former name shows what the file was designed for – containing multimedia content that could be streamed online. ASF container files can include multiple streams of audio and/or video that can be either compressed or uncompressed.

As the format was developed by Microsoft, ASF containers usually contained Windows Media Video and/or Audio files. Nowadays it’s more common for videos to be saved directly in the standalone WMV format. You can open ASF files using Windows Media Player and Microsoft Movies & TV, or with VLC Media Player if you aren’t using a Windows device.

AC3 Audio Format

AC3 Converter

The AC3 (Audio Codec 3) file format was developed by Dolby Laboratories, and is an audio format designed to support surround sound. The format can include up to six separate channels of audio output - one for each of the five speakers in a surround sound setup, plus one for a subwoofer. AC3 files use Dolby Digital lossy compression technology, which maintains sound quality even with a reduced file size.

Although this file format was originally developed for audio in cinemas, it now has many other uses, such as in digital video streaming and TV broadcasting, for DVD and Blu-ray discs, and for video game consoles. The format’s reduced file size makes it ideal for storing and distributing - e.g. on a DVD or Blu-ray disc. An AC3 file can be opened by many different media players, including Apple QuickTime, Windows Media Player, and VLC.
