How to convert WMV to MP3

If you are looking a way to convert WMV to MP3, then you are right here. Before we move to the detail guide on how to convert WMV files, let’s review the basic concept of WMV and MP3.

WMV

WMV is short for Windows Media Video which is developed by Microsoft. It is a compressed video file format for several proprietary codecs like WMV 7, WMV 9. While all versions of WMV support variable, average and constant bit rate, WMV 9 also introduced Windows Media Video 9 Professional, which is activated automatically whenever the video resolution exceeds 300,000 pixels (e.g., 528x576, 640×480 or 768x432 and beyond) and the bit rate 1000 kbit/s. It is targeted towards high-definition video content, at resolutions such as 720p and 1080p.

MP3
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as MP3, is a patented digital audio encoding format using a form of lossy data compression. It is a common audio format for consumer audio storage, as well as a de facto standard of digital audio compression for the transfer and playback of music on digital audio players. MP3 has gained popularity because of their revolutionary compression capacity.
