If you are using a Windows computer and have Windows Media Player  installed, WMV might be very easy to be opened and viewed. However, if you have  the need to transfer the video to other devices for viewing, then the WMV video  format could cause you some trouble because it&rsquo;s sometimes incompatible with  other platforms.

Besides Leawo Video Converter, there are actually tons of  other tools that can achieve the goal of converting WMV video to other formats.  For an example, Avidemux is one of the best. <\/p>\n<p>Avidemux is a free and open-source WMV converter  program. Being written in C++, the program designed for simple video cutting,  filtering and encoding tasks, and is available for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and  Microsoft Windows platform. Avidemux supports most of the mainstream video  formats as input and output, including WMV, AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4  ASF and more. Although Avidemux is not as powerful and well designed as Leawo  Video Converter, it is still capable of doing tasks like simple video  conversions. Comparing to other video converting programs, the advantage of Avidemux  is that the program is very light-weighted. You can download and install the  program without spending too much time and being taken too much disk space. If  you are interested in this little video converting tool, here is also a simple  guide for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Install and launch Avidemux<br \/>\n  <strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Import your source WMV video by  dragging and dropping the file onto the program interface.<br \/>\n  <strong>Step 3: <\/strong>If you have multiple video or  audio tracks in your video, you can select a track from the &ldquo;Video Output&rdquo; and  &ldquo;Audio Output&rdquo; area on the left. The output format can be selected from the  &ldquo;Output Format&rdquo; area below the &ldquo;Audio Output&rdquo; area. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4: <\/strong>Once  you have set the output format, click &ldquo;File&rdquo; in the menu bar at the top, then  choose &ldquo;Save&rdquo; to save the converted video file.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/WMV-converter-Avidemux-06.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/WMV-converter-Avidemux-06.png\" title=\"WMV-converter-Avidemux\" alt=\"WMV-converter-Avidemux\" width=\"650\" height=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\" id=\"part3\">Part 3: Convert WMV video with Handbrake<\/h2>\n<p>The third tool that I would like to  introduce for the WMV video conversion task is Handbrake. As a free and open  source video converter program, Handbrake has been popular in the video  converter industry for more than a decade. The program was initially designed  as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/top-5-best-free-dvd-rippers.html\">best free  DVD ripper programs<\/a>, and then evolved into a multi-functional media  processing and converting program. The advantage of Handbrake is that the  program provides many advanced video processing functions and customizations,  but that brings its disadvantage as well. As a powerful video processing tool,  Handbrake doesn&rsquo;t have an excellent graphical user interface to keep everything  in order. So if you are a new user to the program, you might have to take some  time to learn and adjust yourself to the program.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>However, for a simple task like converting  a WMV video, you can still do it easily with Handbrake with some instructions.  If you want to convert your WMV video with Handbrake but don&rsquo;t know how, here  is a guide for your reference. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Download, install and launch  Handbrake.\u00a0 <br \/>\n  <strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Click the &ldquo;Open Source&rdquo; button  to import your source WMV into the program.<br \/>\n  <strong>Step 3: <\/strong>After importing the video, you  can designate an output folder in the &ldquo;Destination&rdquo; box. Click &ldquo;Browse&rdquo; to  browse and select a folder. The output format can be set in the &ldquo;Output  Settings&rdquo; area. Click the dropdown button next to &ldquo;Container&rdquo; to see all of the  available output formats.<br \/>\n  <strong>Step 4: <\/strong>When the output format is set,  you can do some further editing in the area below. Or you can directly start  the conversion by clicking the &ldquo;Start Encode&rdquo; button next to the &ldquo;Open Source&rdquo;  button. When you click the &ldquo;Start Encode&rdquo; button, the conversion process will  start immediately.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/WMV-converter-Handebrake-07.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/WMV-converter-Handebrake-07.png\" title=\"WMV-converter-Handebrake\" alt=\"WMV-converter-Handebrake\" width=\"650\" height=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\" id=\"part4\">Part 4: Convert WMV video with KeepVid<\/h2>\n<p>The last free WMV converter tool in  today&rsquo;s article is KeepVid.

The KeepVid Video Converter program can convert most  of the mainstream video formats and offers a decent converting experience,  while the online converter tool only supports a very limited number of video  and audio formats.

Here is a guide on how to convert a video with  KeepVid Video Converter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Download and launch KeepVid  Video Converter.
