Frequently asked questions
Is MKV to ASF a lossy conversion?
Generally yes. ASF is Microsoft's Windows Media container, so the MKV's audio and video are typically re-encoded to Windows Media codecs, which loses some quality.
Why convert MKV to ASF?
ASF underlies WMV and WMA and plays natively on Windows. Converting suits a Windows-centric playback or streaming setup where MKV is inconvenient.
Where does an ASF open?
Double-click it on Windows and Media Player handles it. On Mac, Linux, Android or iOS use VLC.
What features of MKV are dropped?
The subtitles, chapters and multiple audio tracks that MKV supports are not preserved in the ASF container.
