Windows Recorded TV Show

WTV (Windows Recorded TV Show) format is a proprietary multimedia container format developed by Microsoft for recording and storing television content. It is primarily used by Windows Media Center, a media player and digital video recorder software. WTV files are capable of storing both standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) television recordings, along with associated metadata and program guide information. The format supports various video and audio codecs, allowing for flexibility in capturing and playing back television content. Additionally, WTV files can be encrypted to protect copyrighted content and require a specific decryption key for playback. While primarily used within the Windows Media Center ecosystem, WTV files can be converted to other formats for broader compatibility using third-party software. Overall, the WTV format provides a convenient way to record and store television shows on Windows-based systems.
