Notes about the AX file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The AX file type is primarily associated with 'MPEG-4 DVD Filter'. Multimedia codec; some filters work with Windows Media Player. Video files are usually compressed to save space. Some are converted into an unknown video format, so a filter (.AX file) tells the computer how to read the specific compression method.
