Convert OFR to ASF

Understanding the OFR and ASF file formats

OFR (OptimFROG) is a lossless audio compression format known for its high compression ratios and ability to preserve original audio quality. It is primarily used for archiving and high-fidelity audio storage. ASF (Advanced Systems Format) is a digital audio/video container format developed by Microsoft, commonly used for streaming media and compatible with Windows Media Player.
