The .flv filename extension and the FLV file format are associated with Adobe System's flash player. It is a container format primarily used for content delivery over the internet and other computer networks. It is an open file format and supports delivery of audio and video streams through players that are compatible with the specification. Flash video, or FLV, has been popularized on the internet by video streaming websites that encode their video in this format. Most web browsers have support for the format through web browser plugins with the exception of Google chrome which has native support for the format.
The .asf filename extension refers to the Microsoft owned audio and digital video container, advanced systems format. It is a container for windows media audio and windows media video but shares the same internal structure as both WMA and WMV file formats. The format was designed with the goal of increasing efficiency in distribution of audio video files across computer networks. However, it works just as well for local system playback. The asf format forms part of Microsoft's Foundation framework. The major feature of the format is its ability to add digital rights management by providing the framework for encrypting audio and video files.

The FLV format is similar to the SWF file format (also owned by Adobe Systems) in the technique used to encode audio and video streams but differs slightly with multi byte storage in big endian byte order. FLV supports a number of codecs including but not limited to On2 VP6 and Sorensen Spark. FLV files can only have a single and synchronized audio and video stream. The format has a header tag followed by alternating blocks of back pointers and tags.
An ASF file can wrap bit streams formed from various formats such as binary, JPEG still images, script commands, video, and audio. However it is principally used as a wrapper for audio and video files specifically WMA and WMV. The ASF format includes support for metadata including content descriptors, and information for DRM use. Content Encryption is also supported requiring the use of a license key before the asf file can be played.
