WMV, short for Windows Media Video, is a video format developed by Microsoft. WMV format supports a lossless video compression to keep file size small and maintain high-quality playback result. However, WMV videos don't work with video programs on Mac computers and can't be played with portable devices. If you would like to watch your favorite movies on your iPhone or PSP, you need to convert WMV to MP4 to create a total compatibility with Mac software programs.
