WMV to DVD Burning and Converting Method Explained

Windows Media Video, or WMV format files, are digital video files associated with Microsoft’s Windows Media Player. WMV is a video codec designed by Microsoft for their Window’s operating system.

WMV files are widely used, but are also most commonly protected by DRM, or “Digital Rights Management”. This should come as no surprise–Microsoft has always been strict in protecting their content as well as supporting their customers with this protection.

A Digital Video Disc, more commonly known as a DVD, is capable of holding large amounts of data including high quality video. Versioned Object Base, known as VOB, is the file format of a DVD.

It would take far too long to explain all the complexities of the VOB format here, but just know that a VOB is a container file for the data stored on a DVD. DVDs, as well as BlueRay media discs, have practically made the CD an obsolete device, it’s because of this that more programs are now focused on burning video files to DVD.

Online streaming video is often rife with copyright violation and peer to peer file sharing. Most videos you download from the internet are in WMV format. If you wanted to take your WMV files and turn them into a DVD collection, you’ll be needing a WMV to DVD conversion program.

To do this you will first need to unlock the DRM protection on the WMV, and then burn the newly unprotected file onto a DVD with some sort of DVD creation software. It would certainly be convenient if a piece of software included both the ability to unlock DRM from a file and to burn it to DVD.

Try the Aplus WMV to DVD Converter to turn your video files into standard MPEG2 Video format and easily burn them to a DVD.
