WAV to WMV Converter FAQs
You would need this converter for compatibility with specific, older Windows software. While both formats are from Microsoft, some legacy programs like early versions of Windows Movie Maker were designed to work with video files and may not properly import a standalone WAV audio file. This tool wraps your audio in the WMV video format that these programs expect.
Your audio is compressed and is no longer lossless. To create a reasonably sized WMV file, the converter takes your large, uncompressed WAV audio and converts it into a high-quality but "lossy" WMA (Windows Media Audio) track. This process permanently discards some of the original audio data to save space.
When you play the converted WMV file, you will see a simple black screen that lasts for the entire duration of your audio track. The WMV format is a video container, so to create a valid, playable file, our converter must automatically generate this blank video stream to accompany your sound.
The final WMV file will be significantly smaller than your source WAV. This is because the massive file size reduction from compressing the huge, uncompressed WAV audio track into an efficient WMA track far outweighs the relatively small amount of data required to add the simple black video screen.
For any modern project, MP4 is a much better choice. All current versions of Windows and its built-in video editor are highly optimized for the MP4 format. MP4 offers superior quality, more efficient compression, and universal compatibility that the older WMV format no longer provides, even on its native Windows platform.
