| WMA format |

It's owned by Microsoft, part of Microsoft's Windows
Media technology. According to independent testing
it sounds as good as MP3 at half the bit rate (and
therefore half the file size). WMA is downloadable
format, and in conjunction with Microsoft's Advanced
Streaming Format (ASF), WMA can also be streamed
to listeners. Optional copyright protection is included
in the WMA code, allowing the owner to restrict
the use of protected material. With ConvertMovie,
you can extract audio from your video and save it
as WMA. |

| Winzip |
WinZip is a commercial file archiver designed
for Microsoft Windows users, developed by WinZip
Computing (formerly known as Nico Mak Computing).
It uses PKWARE's PKZIP format, and can also handle
a number of other archive formats. It is a commercial
product with a free evaluation version.
WinZip began life around the early 1990s as a shareware
GUI frontend for PKZIP. Somewhere around 1996 the
creators of WinZip incorporated compression code
from the Info-ZIP project, thus dispensing with
the need for the PKZIP executable to be present. |

| Winrar |
| WinRAR is a shareware file archiver and data compression
utility by Eugene Roshal. Pocket RAR, a version
of the file archiver for the Pocket PC platform,
is available as freeware. It is one of the few applications
that are able to create RAR archives natively, as
the encoding method is held to be proprietary. |
|
| ASF and ASX |
| Windows Media Player plays ASF and ASX files.
ASF is a compressed file format that can store audio
and video information and is designed to run over
the Internet. ASF may also include slide shows and
synchronizing events. The big advantage of this
file is that it is delivered continuously and starts
playing almost without a delay. Your users don't
need to wait any more for your audio and video files
to fully download before starting to view them. |
| ASX files are textual command files that manage
streaming of ASF files. They are very small in size
(about 1K) because they contain no data, just instructions.
When a user clicks a link to an ASX file, the browser
downloads it to the cache directory, launches the
Windows Media Player, and then starts the streaming.
The advantage of using ASX files over ASF files
is their server location. |
| ASF files can reside on different server
types: |
Windows Media Services Server. File names will
start with mms://.
HTTP Server. File names will start with http://.
Local or network drive. File names will start
with file://.
ASX files, on the other hand, are small text files
that can always sit on an HTTP server. When the
browser interprets the ASX file, it access the
streaming media file that is specified inside
the ASX file, from the proper HTTP, mms, or file
server.
