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.

Description	🔵 WMA, a format of audio stream coding introduced by Microsoft in 1999, has been the foundation for Windows Media. Its main purpose is to store and distribute audio content. Initially considered a viable alternative to MP3, it lost some significance with the emergence of AAC. Unlike MP3, WMA can be installed alongside other system codecs of Windows 9x.WMA is known for its good compression quality, making it suitable for many audio players, mobile devices, and Playstations. However, due to its proprietary nature, files in this format may not play back with satisfactory quality on other platforms. The latest version allows for multi-channel coding of large audio files and voice data. Additionally, advancements in technology have reduced the coding delay significantly.
Technical details	🔵 The term WMA is used to refer to both the file format and the codec. There are several types of the format: - WMA, which is similar to MP3; - WMA Pro, offering high-quality sound with a wide range of channels; - WMA Lossless, providing lossless compression; - WMA Voice, designed for compressing voice content into low bitrate files. According to Microsoft programmers, an audio file with a bitrate of 64 Kbit/s has comparable sound clarity to tracks from a CD. However, not all advanced users agree with this assessment. WMA files are often generated in Advanced Systems Format, which can contain both audio and video content. One limitation is the inability to support bitrates higher than 160 Kbit/s.
