RealMedia Variable Bitrate (RMVB) is a variable bitrate extension of the RealMedia multimedia compression format developed by RealNetworks. As opposed to the more common RealMedia container, which holds streaming media encoded at a constant bit rate, RMVB, compared with DVDRIP, is typically used for multimedia content stored locally. Files using this format have the file extension ".rmvb".
RealMedia codec uses compression similar to MPEG-4 Part 10 codecs, such as X264. Limited support is available on some media players, generally on the Windows platform, including the proprietary RealPlayer 10 and the open-sourced Media Player Classic, using an appropriate DirectShow filter or Real Alternative. RealPlayer and some other programs such as totem are able to play real video or RMVB movie in Linux/UNIX-based x86 machines through the use of WIN32 DLLs or native closed-source libraries. In late-2008, standalone players capable of decoding RMVB files have begun to be available on the market.

ASF stands for Advanced Streaming Format. ASF is a highly compressed file format that contains streaming video, audio like WMV. When an ASF file is played back, content is delivered to you as a continuous flow of data. You no longer have to wait for the whole video and audio file to fully download before you start to view them. So, this file format is specially designed to run on networks. When an AVI file is compressed and converted to an .asf file, the file begins playing after only a few seconds. ASF files can be played back with the Windows Media Player (provided the appropriate codec installed), streamed with Windows Media Services or optionally packaged with Windows Media Rights Manager.
