Windows Media Audio/Video File (.wmv) [SOLVED]

[JJB45]

I am using the latest PTE version to combine eight videos into one video of about 28 minutes.  Some of the original videos were made ten years ago using Windows Movie Maker which is saved as a wmv file.  When placed in PTE there is no audio.  Is this caused by the wmv file and is there a way to make it work?  Videos saved as mp4 work just fine.

Hi,

Regrettably we couldn't get to work audio in some WMV videos.

I recommend you to convert such videos to a MP4 in Handbrake - a free opensource video converter: https://handbrake.fr/

Another benefit of a MP4 format - you'll get a hardware acceleration for a video playback in PTE, that greatly reduces CPU loading.

Thanks for your speedy help.   I have used Handbrake a few years ago.  I will download it again and give it a go!
