Why Can\u2019t You Play WMV on iPhone?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Windows Media Video, WMV for short, is a popular video file format for streaming video, screencasting and slideshow presentations typically on Windows-based computers. It can contain a large amount of audio and video information in a small amount of storage space. That's why it is a good format for use in internet video streaming. <\/p>\n

<\/noscript><\/a>\n<\/div>\nYou may find that it commonly ended in failure if you are trying to open a WMV file on iPhone. The reason behind this is that WMV only works with MS propriety codecs that Apple doesn't support. Though the iPhone does not natively support opening WMV files, you can overcome this limitation with the installation of third-party applications from the App Store.<\/p>\n
