Convert DTM to WV

Understanding DTM and WV file formats

DTM files are DesMuMe movie files used by the DeSmuME Nintendo DS emulator to record and playback gameplay sessions. These files store input data and emulator state, not actual audio or video content.

WV files are WavPack audio files, a lossless audio compression format. WV files are used for high-quality audio storage and playback, supporting both lossless and hybrid compression modes.

Can you convert DTM to WV?

Direct conversion from DTM (a gameplay recording) to WV (an audio file) is not straightforward, as DTM files do not contain audio data. However, you can play back the DTM file in DeSmuME and record the audio output, then save it as a WV file.

How to convert DTM to WV

1. Open your DTM file in DeSmuME emulator.
2. Go to File → Play Movie and select your DTM file to start playback.
3. To record audio, go to File → Audio Settings and set the output to WAV.
4. Start playback and use File → Record WAV to capture the audio as a WAV file.
5. Once recording is complete, use a tool like WavPack or Foobar2000 to convert the WAV file to WV format.

Recommended software for conversion

• DeSmuME (for DTM playback and WAV recording)
• WavPack (official tool for converting WAV to WV)
• Foobar2000 (audio player/converter with WV support)

Summary

While you cannot directly convert a DTM file to a WV file, you can play back the DTM in DeSmuME, record the audio as WAV, and then convert the WAV to WV using WavPack or Foobar2000.
