Fidelity When Converting OGG to WMV

WMV Video optimizes for typical display capabilities. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the WMV Video format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in WMV Video are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality OGG Vorbis Audio input produces an excellent WMV Video output. Xonvert defaults to high quality settings that keep file size reasonable without compromising perceivable quality.
