Limits
Starting point: WMV - WMV pairs Microsoft's WMV video with WMA audio in an ASF wrapper. Protected store files cannot be converted; use DRM-free sources. HEVC decoding needs newer hardware and encodes more slowly. Encode MP4 (H.265) (H.265 / AAC) from WMV at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
How conversion works
Conversion runs entirely in your browser with FFmpeg WASM. Files never leave your device.
