ASF Encoding in Media Foundation
In Microsoft Media Foundation, encoders are implemented as Media Foundation transforms (MFTs). Media Foundation supports multiple encoding modes for creating Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video–based content. The encoding modes depend on the encoding parameters to manage compressed output data. These parameters are the bit rate of the stream, in bits per second, and the buffer window, in milliseconds. During the encoding process, the ASF components abide by the constraints of the buffer.
