QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert 264 to WMA?
No - not a direct conversion.

A .264 file contains only compressed video frames and no audio data whatsoever. WMA is an audio-only format, so no tool can produce WMA output from a source that has no audio.

Why convert 264 to WMA?

A raw H.264 elementary stream (.264) carries only video NAL units - no audio is part of the format. .wma (Windows Media Audio) is a compressed audio bitstream carried in an ASF container. Because the source file has no audio track, a direct conversion is impossible regardless of the tool used.

How to convert 264 to WMA

Adobe Premiere Pro APP

Re-export the original recording from the DVR or NVR as MP4 with an audio track enabled, then import that MP4 into Adobe Premiere Pro and export the audio as WMA.

Freemake Video Converter FREE

If you have an MP4 or MKV file with audio from the same CCTV source, open it in Freemake Video Converter and extract the audio as WMA.

Quality & what to watch

  • A .264 file is video-only by definition - no audio was ever part of the raw H.264 elementary stream format.
  • If the CCTV system recorded audio, it was stored separately or requires a different export format (such as MP4) from the DVR.
  • The .264 and .h264 extensions describe the same format - both are video-only.

Frequently asked questions

Can any converter extract audio from a `.264` file?
No. There is no audio data in the file, so no tool can produce audio output from it.
How do I get audio from a CCTV recording?
Check the DVR or NVR export settings for an MP4 or MKV option with audio enabled; export in that format instead of the raw .264 stream.
What is `.264` used for?
It is the raw H.264 elementary stream that CCTV cameras and DVRs write when exporting footage - video frames only, no container, no audio, no timing metadata.
