What are AX files and how to open them

Are you having problems opening an AX file or are you simply curious about its contents? We're here to explain the properties of these files and provide you with software that can open or handle your AX files.

What is an AX file?

An .AX file is a DirectShow Filter file.

These files are used by several video playback applications and allow users to view Internet videos in real-time without downloading the entire file onto their hard drive and watching the video after the file download.

The AX file format allows video file decompression, rendering of video files, decoding and encoding, file parsing, and de-multiplexing to stream the video over the Internet. This enhances video playback functionality.

AX files can act as plug-in files, incorporating several of the file functions into the programs that support the file format. For example, Apple QuickTime Player and Microsoft Windows Player support the AX file format.
