Tips about WMV files
WMV files are video files that are commonly used by Windows-based machines. If you intend to play this file on a computer system using a different platform, below are some tricks and tips that you may want to know.
1. WMV means Windows Media Video file. As such, it is a movie file that you can view using a compatible media player. On a Windows computer, it is a native, executable file. And because of its rather compact size, it can easily be downloaded, sent, or emailed over the Internet. However, be sure that you're obtaining these files from a reputable source as it may feign a virus.
2. WMV files may be protected with DRM. If this is the case, remove the DRM first before the file can be converted and played by the different online, portable, or system-installed media players.
3. For Mac OS X computers, the best way to play a WMV file is to install a universal media player software like VLC or a player-converter combo software like Aimersoft Video Converter Ultimate for Mac.
4. WMV is not compatible with the iPod. If you want to use this file for such a device, it would have to be converted first.
5. The file size of a WMV file can be further compressed by using a feature-rich video converter software like the Aimersoft Video Converter Ultimate. To do that, simply adjust the encoder, resolution, bitrate, and the frame rate of the original WMV file to that of a lower value. Some software can even do this automatically so the file can be played on most portable devices.
6. The best way to handle a WMV file is to convert it first to a universal file format such as the MP4. This way, it can be handled by all operating systems, including mobile phones and devices.
