What is wmv video format?

WMV (Windows Media Video) is the name of a family of video codecs owners developed by Microsoft. On the Internet, it is common to use this type of video files, either for downloading or streaming.

Since most video codecs owners, this family was initially relied on technology from international standards (ISO / IEC MPEG ITU-T H.26x)

Microsoft, seeking to bring its proprietary codecs in most consumer products (phones, DVD players, set top boxes) that other computers, tried to introduce their version 9 (WMV9) in industry consortia ( 3GPP, DVB, ATSC, DVD, Blu-ray)

With one hand in competition with the standard MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 , which was developed jointly by researchers at companies and universities worldwide, and whose results in terms of coding efficiency were demonstrated independently, and also being forced by the industry consortia to submit a codec necessarily standardized, Microsoft submitted the WMV9 codec to SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) for the standardization as the VC-1. In 2005, the codec VC-1 became stable and was heading towards the status of international standard.

Prior to that, 3GPP had not included the codec VC-1 for the exchange of mobile video (streaming, video conferencing, downloading).

Consortia DVD Forum and Blu-ray had already attracted VC-1 (as well as MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 ) in their specification before it is standardized. This means that DVD players can play high definition movies in VC-1 format.

For broadcast TV, DVB is studying, first commercially, it is useful to include VC-1, while MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 looks better technically and will be deployed before.

One of the perverse effects of the opening by Microsoft specifications of its codec, is that other companies in the field have come to realize that Microsoft had indeed robbed the patents existing standards such as MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC/H.264. Faced with pressure from patent holders, had to ask Microsoft MPEG-LA to open a licensing program. In January 2006, no agreement had yet been found and the conditions of license VC-1 are still unknown.
