The WTV file format stores data in the WTV format. Converting to WMA produces a audio file that encodes audio with Microsoft's proprietary WMA codec, primarily found in files created by Windows Media Player. This conversion changes the file's encoding, compression method, and supported feature set. Metadata such as creation date and embedded colour profiles is preserved where the target format supports it. This makes WMA the practical choice when the destination system requires it or when the original format is not supported by the target application. 1converter runs this conversion on the server: your file is uploaded encrypted over HTTPS, converted using trusted open-source libraries, and the output is held for 24 hours before automatic deletion.
