Conversion Quality Deep Dive
RealMedia Video is known for pioneered internet video streaming in the late 1990s. This means your converted output will benefit from RealMedia Video's core strengths. Meanwhile, the original WMA Audio's advantage of good compression quality within the Windows ecosystem may not fully carry over, depending on RealMedia Video's capabilities. Artifacts — unwanted visual or auditory imperfections — are minimized through Xonvert's tuned encoding parameters. For RealMedia Video, the default quality settings sit well above the threshold where artifacts become noticeable. Both formats use lossy compression. Xonvert re-encodes with optimal parameters to minimize generational quality loss.
