Frequently asked questions
What do I get when converting WMV to M2V?
M2V is a raw MPEG-2 video elementary stream with no audio and no container, so only the picture is kept and the sound track is dropped. The video is re-encoded to MPEG-2.
Why is there no sound in an M2V file?
M2V holds video only by design; it carries no audio stream at all. Silent playback is expected behavior, not a broken file.
Why convert WMV to M2V?
M2V is used in DVD authoring and other MPEG-2 workflows where video and audio are handled as separate elementary streams. It provides a clean video-only stream for those tools.
How is the quality and where does it open?
The conversion is a lossy re-encode to MPEG-2, so some detail is lost versus the WMV source. It opens in VLC, which handles the missing audio gracefully.
