Convert WTV to MPEG

Convert WTV DVR recordings to MPEG for editing

Windows Media Center saves TV recordings as WTV files, which are incompatible with most video editing software. Converting to MPEG allows you to edit your recorded shows, remove commercials, or create compilations using standard video editors.

Play WTV files on media players that don't support the format

Many smart TVs, gaming consoles, and mobile devices cannot natively play WTV files. Converting to MPEG ensures compatibility with virtually all media players and streaming devices for convenient viewing.

Archive recorded TV shows in a universal format

WTV is a proprietary format that may become obsolete over time. Converting your recorded television programs to MPEG creates a future-proof archive that will remain accessible regardless of media player software changes.

Share recorded sports events with friends and family

When you've recorded a memorable game or match in WTV format, converting to MPEG makes it easy to share via email, cloud storage, or social media since most people can open MPEG files without special software.

Burn recorded movies to DVD or Blu-ray

DVD authoring software typically requires MPEG format for disc creation. Converting WTV recordings to MPEG enables you to create physical copies of your recorded movies and TV shows for your media collection.

Upload recorded content to video sharing platforms

YouTube, Vimeo, and other video platforms have limited support for WTV files. Converting to MPEG ensures your recorded content meets platform requirements and can be shared with a wider audience online.

Create educational content from recorded documentaries

Teachers and students who record educational programs can convert WTV to MPEG to embed clips in presentations, online courses, or study materials that work across all devices and learning management systems.

Preserve important news broadcasts for research purposes

Journalists, researchers, and historians recording news events in WTV format can convert to MPEG for long-term preservation and to facilitate analysis using various multimedia tools and databases.

Prepare recorded content for business presentations

Professionals who record industry news, competitor commercials, or training materials can convert WTV to MPEG for reliable playback during meetings, conferences, and client presentations without compatibility concerns.

Convert recorded family events for family archives

When you've recorded special broadcasts like royal weddings, historic events, or holiday specials, converting from WTV to MPEG creates a family archive that can be enjoyed on any device for years to come.
