WMV
WMV stands for Windows Media Video, which is a compressed video file format for several proprietary codecs developed by Microsoft. The original codec, known as WMV, was originally designed for Internet streaming applications, as a competitor to RealVideo. The other codecs, such as WMV Screen and WMV Image, cater for specialized content.
Now let's have a look at WMV codecs.
- WMV9 VCM
- WMV3
- Windows Media Format 11 Runtime
- Windows Media Player 9 Codecs Pack
This Video Compression Manager (VCM) based version of the Windows Media Video 9 encoder/decoder will enable legacy encoding and editing applications to support the Windows Media Video 9 codec in file containers such as AVI.
The Windows Media Video 9 (WMV3) files are created with the Windows Media Encoder 9 Series. Playback requires DirectX 8.0 or higher and Windows Media Player 9 or higher must be installed.
Windows Media Format 11 Runtime is required to decode/encode Windows Media Video (WMV, WM) and Windows Media Audio (WMA) files without installing Windows Media Player 11.
This package can be used as an alternative to automatically downloading Windows Media Codecs, or to correct problems experienced with previously-downloaded codecs.
