- The WTV (Windows Recorded TV Show) file format is used by Microsoft's Windows Media Center to store TV recordings. Introduced with Windows 7 as a successor to the earlier DVR-MS format used by Windows XP Media Center Edition, WTV files allow users to record live television broadcasts or schedule recordings directly through their computers equipped with a compatible TV tuner card. These files encapsulate both the video and audio streams, along with metadata such as broadcast information and closed captions.
- Audio file compressed with the Free Lossless True Audio codec (TTA); supports compression of multichannel 8, 16, and 24-bit .WAV data; compresses the original audio data with compression ratios of 30-70 percent.
