What are. ASF files?
Short for Advanced Systems Format (formerly Advanced Streaming Format, Active Streaming Format), ASF is a proprietary digital audio/digital video container format developed by Microsoft. As a part of the Windows Media framework, ASF is especially used for streaming media files. Instead of specifying how (i.e. with which codec) the video or audio should be encoded, ASF does more in the structure of the video/audio stream which is quite similar to the function performed by the AVI, QuickTime, or Ogg container formats. Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Windows Media Video (WMV) are the most common file types contained in an ASF file.
