What changes when you convert WMV to WAV?
This conversion removes the picture from the WMV file and saves its audio track as WAV. Video resolution and frame rate do not carry into the result.
- Add multiple videos, choose the audio output and set a trim range when only part of the track is needed.
- Open the finished WAV file and check fine details, layout and compatibility in the app where you plan to use it.
Source formatWhat is a WMV file?
WMV (Windows Media Video) is Microsoft’s video format, once common for Windows clips and PowerPoint. It keeps files small but plays poorly outside Windows - Macs, phones and web browsers often can’t open it, so MP4 is the safer choice for sharing.
How to open a WMV file
WMV plays in Windows Media Player and VLC; on Mac, phones or the web, convert it to MP4 first.
Output formatWhat is a WAV file?
WAV is an audio container that commonly stores uncompressed PCM sound. PCM keeps the encoded samples without lossy compression, which is useful for editing and mastering but usually creates much larger files than MP3 or AAC.
How to open a WAV file
WAV is supported by common media players and audio editors, including Windows Media Player, QuickTime and VLC. Support can depend on the codec stored inside the file.
