Make WMV Files

The WMV video compression format (acronym for Windows Media Video) was created by Microsoft as a rival to RealVideo for Internet streaming purposes.

Usually, WMV will appear within ASF container files where the audio streams are encoded using the WMA encoding engine.

WMV is a common video format supported by select multimedia apps, therefore users might want to convert their videos to this format when they have to use such an app.

Some WMV makers will enable their users to adjust the source video before exporting it to the WMV video format.
