Convert MSWMM to WMV

Understanding MSWMM and WMV file formats

The MSWMM file format is associated with Windows Movie Maker, a video editing software that allows users to create and edit videos. MSWMM files are project files that contain information about the video timeline, effects, transitions, and other editing details, but they do not contain the actual video data.

On the other hand, the WMV (Windows Media Video) file format is a video file format developed by Microsoft. It is widely used for streaming and downloading video content on the internet. WMV files contain compressed video data and are compatible with a variety of media players and devices.

How to convert MSWMM to WMV

To convert an MSWMM file to a WMV file, you need to use Windows Movie Maker, as it is the native application for MSWMM files. Follow these steps:

1. Open Windows Movie Maker on your computer.
2. Go to File → Open Project and select the MSWMM file you want to convert.
3. Once the project is loaded, go to File → Save Movie File.
4. Choose the desired settings for your WMV file, such as quality and resolution.
5. Click Next and follow the prompts to save the file as a WMV.

Best software for MSWMM to WMV conversion

The best software for converting MSWMM files to WMV is Windows Movie Maker itself, as it is specifically designed to handle MSWMM project files. However, if you no longer have access to Windows Movie Maker, you can use alternative video editing software like Wondershare Filmora or Adobe Premiere Pro, which may require importing the video content separately and recreating the project.
