WM ASF Writer Filter (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
The WM ASF Writer is a wrapper filter for a file writer object for Windows Media formats. The filter accepts a variable number of input streams and creates an Advanced Systems Format (ASF) file. The filter handles all compression and multiplexing (although the compression mechanism can be bypassed). You can use the WM ASF Writer in several different scenarios including digital video (DV) capture, audio recompression, and conversion of Audio-Video Interleaved (AVI) files. This filter provides the only way to create Microsoft® Windows Media™ Audio and Windows Media Video files in Microsoft DirectShow.
The following table shows the filter properties.
