Will You Lose Quality Converting M2V to WMA?
Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. MPEG-2 Video may clip extreme values. WMA Audio optimizes for typical display capabilities. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the WMA Audio format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in WMA Audio are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality MPEG-2 Video input produces an excellent WMA Audio output. Xonvert defaults to high quality settings that keep file size reasonable without compromising perceivable quality.
Extracting audio from MPEG-2 Video video to WMA Audio format strips the video track and saves only the audio content. This is perfect for extracting music from music videos, saving podcast audio from video recordings, or creating audio-only versions of lectures and presentations. The audio quality depends on the original video's audio track bitrate and codec.
The M2V to WMA conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. No audio — must be muxed with audio for complete playback
