Concepts

Microsoft Windows NT Server uses Windows Media Services to broadcast audio and video ASF content over a computer network. ASF content can be a live content stream or a stored .asf file.

Windows Media Tools and the third-party tools available elsewhere are used to create the ASF content. You can create an .asf file from stored media, such as sound, picture, and movie files, or from live streams.

This section discusses the underlying concepts behind creating ASF content. It does not cover the preliminary process of preparing and editing multimedia files.
