Why this one stays private

Converting a video elsewhere means uploading the whole thing, waiting, and trusting a stranger's server with footage that may not be yours to hand over. The conversion happens here instead.

Questions

Why convert WebM to WMV?

WebM is small and made for the web, though older players and editors ignore it. WMV is a Windows Media container that tends to be the odd one out on a Mac. Converting is how you move a file from the first situation to the second.

What will the WMV file contain?

Real Windows Media: WMV8 video and WMA sound in an ASF container, which Windows Media Player, PowerPoint and older Windows editors open without extra codecs.

Is the picture re-encoded?

Yes. WMV cannot carry the VP9 video a WebM file normally holds, so the picture is encoded again, at a quality setting high enough that the difference is hard to see.

Is the sound kept?

Yes. The audio track comes across with the picture - copied when WMV can hold it as it is, converted when it cannot.

How long does it take?

Repackaging takes seconds. A full re-encode runs in this tab on one processor core, so a long HD video takes a while - but there is no upload or download to wait for.
