Windows Media Video

Extension	.wmv
Category	🔵 video
Programs	🔵 Microsoft Windows Media Player 🔵 PowerDVD 🔵 RealPlayer 🔵 VideoLAN VLC Media Player
Main program	🔵 MPlayer
Description	🔵 Windows Media Video (WMV) is a video format that is part of the Advanced Systems Format (ASF) container. This format was developed by Microsoft. WMV files can be played on a variety of operating systems, including Mac and PC. Some WMV files come with digital rights management (DRM) protection, which prevents unauthorized copying of the recordings, particularly those purchased from an online store.
Technical details	🔵 The exclusive codecs developed by Microsoft are available when compressing a WMV file. Users have the option to use Windows Media Video 9 Professional, which allows them to play their files at resolutions exceeding 300,000 pixels (even with a screen resolution as low as 528x576) with an impressive bit rate of 1000 Kbit/s. The high definition capabilities of WMV files make them an excellent choice for HD DVD and Blu-ray discs. The WMV 9 format is recommended, as it is comparable to H.264 Main and High Profile. However, it lacks support for certain features like multiple reference frames and context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC). Lower bit rates may highlight differences between WMV and its competitors.

Matroska Video File

Extension	.mkv
Category	🔵 video
Programs	🔵 VLC Media Player
Main program	🔵 VLC Media Player
Description	🔵 MKV Matroska is an open-source multimedia container format that supports multiple audio and subtitle tracks in a single file. It is the most versatile file type, allowing users to include a variety of data such as videos, audio, text, and images. It is a RAW format that can be easily manipulated and organized based on the specific data tracks needed.
Technical details	🔵 Whether it's video, audio, subtitles, or images, every file will be stored on a separate data line. It is quite similar to the MP4 or AVI format, although when users are packaging an MKV file, they rarely bundle all the tracks within the file. Many media players do not even support the MKV video format, so users need to use specialized media players that can handle the MKV format, such as VLC media player.
