MKV is a type of Matroska Multimedia Container file. The name “Matroska” is an anglicization of matryoshka dolls, which are hollow Russian dolls of decreasing size made to fit inside each other in a nesting fashion. The Matroska file was so named because its creator claimed that the Extensible Binary Meta Language on which it is based is similar in architecture to Russian nesting dolls. MKV is an extremely flexible file format, allowing the user to edit the video with ease while maintaining backwards compatibility with older software.
WMV is a file format created by the software company Microsoft Corporation and initially designed for video files streamed over the Internet. As WMV has undergone changes over the years, a later version of WMV, WMV 9, was developed with the aim of containing high-definition video with high resolutions. WMV has therefore been judged to have an excellent format for physical delivery and has been used to create digital versatile discs (DVD) and Blu-ray Disc. Note that WMV is a required video codec for some online stores and gadgets. Anyone who wants to store a high-definition video on a disc or view it on some gadgets, therefore, would do well to first convert the file to WMV format.
To convert MKV to WMV, search for an online file converter program first. Confirm that it supports MKV as the source file format and WMV as the output file format. After doing that, proceed to download the program from a trusted website.
After installing the program, launch it and select your MKV file as the source file. You will be able to configure many details, such as frame rate, encoding mode and bit rate. If you are unsure of the correct settings, be sure to read the program’s documentation before changing the default settings.
Choose the save location for your output file. Click the appropriate command button to start the converting process and the program will convert MKV to WMV. When finished, your new WMV file will be ready to watch or store on your computer or on a disc.
