	Advanced Streaming Format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ASF is part of the Windows Media framework.
		The format does not specify how the video or audio should be encoded, but instead just specifies the structure of the video/audio stream.
		The ASF format is based on serialized objects which are essentially byte-sequences identified by a GUID marker.

		This is similar to the functionperformed by the QuickTime format or the Oggformat.
		ASF files containing only WMA audio can be named with the filename extension.wma and files of only audio and video content may have the extension.wmv.
		ASF is often confused with Microsoft's own implementation of MPEG-4 video format(Windows Media Video), because most of the ASF streams areencoded using this technology.

	ASFv2 Straw Man
		ASF is similarly agnostic about how the data is packetized by network protocols (for example, whether the multimedia data is sent in an interleaved or non-interleaved fashion).
		Stream prioritization is complicated by the presence of scalable media types, since it is not always possible to determine the order of stream application at authoring time.
		Streams in a mutual exclusion relationship with each other (for example, languages) should all be listed in adjacent order (in other words, priority n, n+1, n+2, and so on), sorted in decreasing order of maximum stream bandwidth.

		treaming file formats, such as the Advanced Streaming Format, describe how data is organized as it moves across a network, letting users play the file as packets stream in.
		But unlike other streaming formats, ASF describes how to organize many types of media-including text, graphics, animation, video, and audio-in a synchronized presentation.
		An ASF file, for example, could contain a video clip synchronized with PowerPoint slides that change at specific points in the video and ActiveX controls that launch on cue.

		Supporters of the move noted that QuickTime provided a good "life-cycle" format, well suited to capture, editing, archiving, distribution, and playback (as opposed to the simple file-as-stream approach of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, which does not mesh well with editing).

		With streaming video or streaming media, a Web user does not have to wait to download a large file before seeing the video or hearing the sound.
		However, for most Web users, the streaming video will be limited to the data rates of the connection (for example, up to 128 Kbps with an ISDN connection).

		AAF is a truly open format in that its specification is publicly available, it is not owned by any single company, and has been submitted unencumbered to industry standards organizations.
		AAF Targets Drawbacks of Current Multimedia Formats AAF is designed to address the interchange drawbacks of existing multimedia file formats - such as AVI2 and WAV - that are not cross-platform, cannot be edited without re-writing the entire file, and cannot describe compositions with multiple layers or elements.
		In contrast, AAF is a format that focuses exclusively on the needs of authoring, without the constraints associated with trying to meet the needs of consumer distribution.

		Windows Media Encoder is a real time encoder that can be used to produce video streams for streaming over a network from a standard web server or specialised server software or alternatively video can be rendered in real time directly to disk as an ASF stream.
		For more advanced users, the encoder and author have another mode of operation that allows the user to manually choose the codecs for audio and video that will encode the stream.
		The downside to this is this is that viewers of the media stream need to have the corresponding codec on their computer too.
