Enables you to play WMA and WMV files while using older operating systems without the need to install the latest media player out there

Users prefer to stick to their old version of Windows for numerous reasons, some of them got too accustomed to it to replace it, while others simply cannot afford purchasing a new OS flavor. Regardless of the reason that is keeping them with XP, 2000 or 2003, users might occasionally want to benefit from updates and apps meant for newer operating systems.

Suitable for older operating systems

When they want to take advantage of the functions included in Windows Media Player 11 but their operating system does not support actually installing the application, users can try Windows Media Format Runtime.

Once they install this software utility, users can integrate the latest Windows Media Player codecs to their computer, even if they are running an old OS. This way, they can play WMA (Windows Media Audio) and WMV (Windows Media Video) files without any additional apps.

Clean integration into your system

After it analyzes the host computer’s configuration and ensures it is compatible, Windows Media Format Runtime installs without any glitches and provides users with the aforementioned WMA and WMV support.

Another way of obtaining support for these file formats is to install a third-party codec pack that contains much more codecs than only these two. The advantage of relying on Windows Media Format Runtime is that it comes with full integration with the host PC, meaning that it does not break file associations or change user settings.

To sum up

In the end, it is simply a matter of choice: Windows Media Format Runtime might be the right tool for those who only want WMA and WMV supports, whereas those who frequently deal with numerous multimedia players typically prefer a more comprehensive codec suite.

Windows Media Format 11 SDK

This documentation describes the Microsoft Windows Media Format Software Development Kit (SDK) and applies to the 32-bit and x64-based versions of the SDK.

The Windows Media Format SDK is a component of the Microsoft Windows Media Software Development Kit (SDK). Other components include the Windows Media Services SDK, Windows Media Encoder SDK, Windows Media Rights Manager SDK, Windows Media Device Manager SDK, and Windows Media Player SDK.

The Windows Media Format SDK provides application developers with access to the components of the Windows Media Format. These components include the Advanced Systems Format (ASF) file container, the Windows Media Audio and Video codecs, basic network streaming capability, and digital rights management. The objects of the Windows Media Format SDK manipulate the components of Windows Media at a low level; the other components of the Windows Media SDK include objects that work on a higher level.

The primary purpose of the Windows Media Format SDK is to enable developers to create applications that play, write, edit, encrypt, and deliver Advanced Systems Format (ASF) files and network streams. These files and streams commonly contain audio and video content encoded using the Windows Media Audio and Video codecs. However, ASF can contain any type of data. For more information about the Advanced Systems Format container structure, see Overview of the ASF Format.

The key features of the Windows Media Format SDK are:

• Support for industry-leading codecs. The Windows Media Format 11 SDK includes the Microsoft Windows Media Video 9 codec and the Microsoft Windows Media Audio 9.1 codec. Both of these codecs provide exceptional encoding of digital media content. New for this release is the Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile codec, which provides optimizations for broadcast video. This SDK also includes the Microsoft Windows Media Video 9 Screen codec for compressing computer-screen activity during sessions of user applications, and the Windows Media Audio 9.1 Voice codec, which encodes low-complexity audio such as speech and intelligently adapts to more complex audio such as music, for superior representation of combined voice-music scenarios.
• Support for writing ASF files. Files are created based on customizable profiles, enabling easy configuration and standardization of files. This SDK can be used to write files in excess of 2 gigabytes, enabling longer, better-quality, continuous files.
• Support for reading ASF files. This SDK provides support for reading local ASF files as well as reading ASF data being streamed over a network. Support is also provided for many advanced reading features, such as native support for multiple bit rate (MBR) files, which contain multiple streams with the same content encoded at different bit rates. The reader automatically selects which MBR stream to use, depending upon available bandwidth at the time of playback.
• Support for delivering ASF streams over a network. This SDK provides support for delivering ASF data through HTTP to remote computers on a network, and also for delivering data directly to a remote Windows Media server.
• Support for editing metadata in ASF files. Information about a file and its content is easily manipulated with this SDK. Developers can use the robust system of metadata attributes included in the SDK, or create custom attributes to suit their needs.
• Support for content editing applications. This SDK enables applications to seek to points within a file by presentation time and by video frame. In addition, files created by using the Windows Media Format SDK can maintain timestamps in formats used in film and television production.
• Support for reading and editing metadata in MP3 files. This SDK provides integrated support for reading MP3 files with the same methods used to read ASF files. Applications built with the Windows Media Format SDK can also edit metadata attributes in MP3 files using built-in support for the most common ID3 tags used by content creators.
• Support for Digital Rights Management protection. This SDK provides methods for reading and writing ASF files and network streams that are protected by Digital Rights Management to prevent unauthorized playback or copying of the content.

To download the Windows Media Format SDK, see the Windows Media Downloads page at the Microsoft Web site.

This document describes how you can develop digital media applications using the Windows Media Format SDK. It is divided into the following sections.

Although this document contains information about the latest version of the Windows Media Format SDK, most of the features it describes are supported by older versions of the SDK. Reference pages for the methods, functions, structures, and enumerations of the Windows Media Format SDK include version requirements.
