Convert .WM to .AVI

Conversion possible

.WM is a Windows Media file that can contain audio, video or both. Converting it to AVI re-encodes the Windows Media streams.

How to convert .WM to .AVI

1. Check with VLC whether the file has a video track.
2. Convert with VLC or an FFmpeg-based tool to AVI, for example with MPEG-4 video and MP3 audio.
3. If the file contains only audio, convert it to MP3 instead; an AVI without picture makes little sense.

What to expect

• Both formats use lossy compression, so every conversion costs some quality. Convert once from the original and do not convert the result again.
