WMV version 9 has been standardized as an independent
^^^^^^^^^
SMPTE standard (421M, also known as VC-1), it's reasonable to believe that WMV has sufficiently evolved in a different direction than MPEG-4 to be considered a unique codec in its own right. There are currently (April 2006) 16 companies in the VC-1 patent pool. Microsoft is also one of the members of the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 patent pool.
Advanced Systems Format files(asf)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The video stream is often combined with an audio stream of Windows Media Audio and encapsulated in Advanced Systems Format files, carrying the .wmv or .asf file extensions.
Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a proprietary compressed audio ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ file format developed by Microsoft.
Advanced Audio Coding (acc) format used by Apple and is part o ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^of Microsoft's Windows Media framework.
hope this would satisfy you!!
