WMV to MPEG-1: Convert Video from WMV(Windows Media Video) to MPEG-1(MPEG-1 Video) with River Past Video Cleaner, WMV2MPEG-1 converter, conversion
What is
WMV?
WMV stands for Windows
Media Video -- developed and controlled by Microsoft. WMV is a generic name
of Microsoft's video encoding solutions and doesn't necessarily define the technology
what it uses -- since version 7 (WMV7) Microsoft has used its own flavour of
MPEG-4 video encoding technology.
DivX video format is originally based on hacked
WMV codec.
Windows Media Format 11 adds support for HD video up to 1080P. WMF 11 runs
only on Windows XP and Vista.
Additional information is available on Microsoft
Windows Media page.
What is
MPEG-1?
The first MPEG format for compressed video, optimised for CD-ROM. MPEG-1
was designed for the transmission rates of about 1.5 Mbps achievable with Video-CD
and CD-i. Its compression algorithms
allow better than VHS quality video and almost CD quality audio to be compressed
onto and streamed off a single speed (1x) CD-ROM drive. MPEG encoding can introduce
blockiness, colour bleed and shimmering effects on video and lack of detail
and quantisation effects on audio. The official name of MPEG-1 is International
Standard IS-11172.
MPEG.ORG is an excellent source for additional
information on MPEG format and usage.
To encode MPEG-1 video, you will need River
Past MPEG-2 Booster Pack in addition to your video software.
