File Description

Based on the Advanced Systems Format (ASF) container format, Microsoft has developed another video container format called WMV. It's originally designed for Internet streaming, as a competitor to RealVideo by RealNetworks.

With a third-party Flip4Mac component, any player that uses the QuickTime framework can play WMV files on Mac free of charge, but it's chargeable to convert WMV to other formats. With Flip4Mac component, anyone can view Windows Media content (e.g. WMV and WMA) on the Internet using a web browser.
