WMV and DRM WMV

Windows Media Video (WMV) is the video file format developed by Microsoft, encapsulated in the Advanced Systems Format (ASF) container format. WMV was designed for Internet streaming applications. Microsoft applies WMV to its PlaysForSure-certified online stores and devices. Both Zune and Xbox 360 use WMV codec.

WMV can also be played on Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic, RealPlayer, and Power DVD.

However, Zune can not play DRM WMV. And WMV license can not be restored in Windows Media Player 11, which is the media player for Vista. That’s because Windows Media DRM can be applied to WMV, thus making the WMV videos DRM-encrypted. Xbox 360 is one of the devices that can play DRM WMV.

WMV was also adopted for HD DVD and Blue-ray DVD. The latest codec of WMV is WMV 9 codec. WMV has many counterparts and rivals, such as MPEG-4 AVC, Real Video, DivX, and Xvid.

WMV can also be put into the AVI or Matroska container format. WMV support variable bit rate, average bit rate, and constant bit rate.
