What software can play WMV?

There are many softwares that can play WMV, including Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, MPlayer, Media Player Classic, VLC Media Player and KMP(K-Multimedia Player).

It is recommended to use "Storm Video". The left eye button of Storm Video can greatly improve the image quality and viewing experience. The player is compatible with most video and audio formats.

The file played by Storm Video is very clear. When there is a file that cannot be played, the "Play" in the upper right corner plays the role of switching between the video decoder and the audio decoder, which will switch the best three decoding methods of video. At the same time, Storm Video is also one of the favorite players of Chinese people.

It is recommended to use "KMPlayer", which is a super audio-visual player from Korea. Like Mplayer, it is transplanted from Linux platform. It can play almost all formats of audio and video files, and can support endless new formats through various plug-ins.

Many functions, quite professional, and some video, audio, subtitle processing, you can set visual effects, control colors and so on. Those who pursue perfect results must not miss it.

It is recommended to use "Baidu Video". First of all, this software is only 1.22 MB, which is one of the smallest players. Secondly, its media library is quite powerful, including pps, Storm Video, pptv and other media libraries, and its resources are quite rich.

The third is that its picture quality is very clear, basically high-definition movies, and it plays smoothly, so it is difficult to get stuck online, because watching videos online with it will take up a lot of network speed. I recommend you to try it.

Extended data:

WMV(Windows Media Video) is a streaming media format introduced by Microsoft, which is an upgrade and extension of ASF format. Under the same video quality, WMV format files can be downloaded and played at the same time, which is very suitable for playing and transmitting on the Internet.

WMV(Windows Media Video) is not only developed based on Microsoft's own technology. Since the seventh edition (WMV 1), Microsoft has started to use its own non-standard MPEG-4Part2.

However, because the ninth edition of WMV is an independent standard of SMPTE (42 1M, also known as VC- 1), the development of WMV is not a proprietary codec technology like MPEG-4.

There are 16 companies enjoying the VC- 1 patent (April 2006), and Microsoft is also one of the companies enjoying the MPEG-4AVC/H.264 patent. Microsoft's WMV is still very influential.

However, due to Microsoft's own limitations, its WMV application development is not smooth.

First of all, WMV is a product of Microsoft. It must depend on Windows. Windows means that the decoding part should also have a PC, at least the motherboard of the PC. This increases the cost of set-top boxes, thus affecting the popularity of video on demand.

Second, the video transmission delay of WMV technology is 10 second.
