- Description
- An ASF file is a media file stored in the Advanced Systems Format (ASF), a proprietary video and audio container format. It contains audio and video data and optional metadata, such as title, author, and copyright bibliographic data. ASF files are developed by Microsoft primarily for streaming media.
- The Portable Voice Format (PVF) is a digital audio file format primarily used for storing voice recordings. PVF files are designed to encapsulate voice data at various bit rates, making them suitable for applications where voice clarity and file size are critical, such as voicemail systems, interactive voice response systems, and other telephony applications. Unlike more common audio formats that aim for high fidelity and music playback, PVF focuses on the efficient encoding of speech, optimizing for intelligibility and compact file size.
