Converter your DVD to windows media format

[Anonymous]

Microsoft has creates some different media formats for it’s windows operating system. The most commonly used are .asf, .asx, .wma, and .wmv.

The ASF Format
The ASF format (Advanced Streaming Format) is specially designed to run over the Internet.
ASF files can contain audio, video, slide shows, and synchronized events.
ASF files can be highly compressed and can be delivered as a continuous flow of data (on-line TV or radio). Files can be of any size, and can be compressed to match many different bandwidths (connection speeds).

The ASX Format
ASX (Advanced Stream Redirector) files are not media files, but metafiles.
Metafiles provides information about files. ASX files are plain text files used to describe multimedia content:
<ASX VERSION="3.0">
<Title>Holiday 2001</Title>
<Entry>
<ref href="holiday-1.avi"/>
</Entry>
<Entry>
<ref href="holiday-2.avi"/>
</Entry>
<Entry>
<ref href="holiday-2.avi"/>
</Entry>
</ASX>
The file above describes three multimedia files. When the ASX file is read by a player, the player can play the files described.

The WMA Format
The WMA (Windows Media Audio) format is an audio format developed by Microsoft.
WMA is designed to handle all types of audio content. The files can be highly compressed and can be delivered as a continuous flow of data (on-line radio). WMA files can be of any size, and be compressed to match many different bandwidths (connection speeds).
The WMA format is similar to the ASF format

WMV is designed to handle all types of video content. The files can be highly compressed and can be delivered as a continuous flow of data (on-line radio). WMV files can be of any size, and be compressed to match many different bandwidths (connection speeds).
