Convert WMV to MPEG
What is WMV?
WMV
WMV (Windows Media Video) uses Microsoft's ASF (Advanced Systems Format) container with WMV video codec and WMA audio. Optimized for Windows Media Player. Supports DRM protection, streaming, and variable bitrate encoding. Good compression but limited cross-platform compatibility. Converting to modern formats like MP4 typically involves re-encoding for better device support and efficiency.

What is MPEG?
MPEG
MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) encompasses video compression standards from MPEG-1 through MPEG-4. Uses predictive compression with I/P/B frames. MPEG-2 is DVD standard; MPEG-4 Part 10 is H.264. Converting between MPEG variants involves codec transcoding.
