What is WMV?

WMV

WMV container stores Windows Media Audio (WMA) multiplexed with video using ASF structure. Extracting audio means demultiplexing—separating audio from video streams. This preserves audio quality and codec. The audio maintains WMA encoding after extraction, though WMA is less widely supported than modern codecs like AAC.

  • WMV combines video and audio streams in a container, allowing audio track extraction
  • Contains separate audio track easily extracted to AIFF format
  • Video stream discarded—only audio codec and bitrate matter

What is AIFF?

AIFF

AIFF stores pure audio waveform data without visual components. Video requires image frames synchronized with audio. AIFF provides the audio track—creating video also requires visual content. You'd need to combine AIFF audio with an image sequence or video source.

  • AIFF contains pure audio data requiring video track addition for video output
