- Description
- 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 encoded in Dialogic's ADPCM (VOX) format, a format used for saving human speech audio; saves digitized voice data sampled at a low rate; enables the audio data size to be small while still maintaining clarity; used by computer telephony systems.
