How to Convert H.264 to WMV?

WMV (Windows Media Video) was developed by Microsoft as a compressed video container for the Windows Media framework. It has three different types of video codec: WMV1, WMV2, and WMV3. These codecs are relatively old and not so widely supported by hardware. By contrast, H.264 is an advanced video codec and compatible with more media players and devices. You can convert WMV to H.264 for maximum portability. On the other hand, the H.264 decoder works much more efficiently on new quad-core computers, so you can also convert H.264 files to WMV for easy playback on the old versions.

The following part will demonstrate the conversion between the two formats. Before that, please get the necessary WMV and H.264 converter free downloaded on your PC.
