Why convert WMV to WAV?

Save a Windows video soundtrack as uncompressed 16-bit audio. This removes the picture from the output, not noise from the recording.

  • Why leave WMV. Macs, phones and many upload forms do not handle WMV.
  • Why use WAV. WAV suits editing, production, and master copies.
  • What you get. The WAV output contains uncompressed 16-bit audio. It is usually larger than a compressed source. The source needs an audio track. The output has no picture.
  • Kvalitet. Converting WMV to WAV cannot improve the sound. The WAV holds only the audio track, so the sound inside the WMV sets the best quality you can get. The WAV is usually much larger than the compressed sound inside the video. It is 16-bit, so a 24-bit soundtrack is reduced to 16-bit.
  • Your rights. Convert only files you own or have permission to use.
