There are three ways of using Microsoft Windows Media Player to deliver ASF content to a user. Windows Media Player can be used as a stand-alone program, started from a hyperlink, or embedded within a Web page.
ASF content can be in the form of either .asf files or ASF streams. Saved .asf files can be opened and played by Windows Media Player but are not streamed to it. Only content directly delivered to a client from a Windows Media server is streamed to Windows Media Player.
