M1V is the MPEG-1 Video elementary stream — a raw bitstream of video frames from the 1993 standard with no container or audio multiplexing. WMA (Windows Media Audio) is Microsoft's proprietary audio format using the WMA Standard, WMA Pro, or WMA Lossless codec inside the ASF (Advanced Systems Format) container. WMA was the primary audio format for Windows Media Player, Zune, and early Windows Phone devices.
Converting M1V to WMA attempts audio extraction to Microsoft's proprietary audio ecosystem. As with all M1V audio extractions, this only works if the .m1v file contains non-standard embedded audio — genuine M1V elementary streams have no audio.
WMA was Microsoft's answer to MP3 and AAC, designed for tight integration with Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, and the Zune marketplace. While WMA's market relevance has declined, it remains the expected format for legacy Windows media workflows, older Windows Mobile/CE devices, and some car audio systems that support WMA but not AAC.
If audio can be recovered from a non-standard M1V file and the target playback environment is Windows-centric, WMA provides native compatibility without requiring third-party codec installation on Windows XP through Windows 11.
FFmpeg probes the M1V file for audio streams. If found, it decodes the MPEG-1 Layer 2 audio to PCM and re-encodes using the wmav2 (WMA Standard v2) encoder at the target bitrate (typically 128-192 kbps). The output is wrapped in the ASF container with Windows Media metadata support. WMA Standard encodes at up to 48 kHz stereo. Conversion fails if no audio stream exists in the M1V file.
WMA Standard at 128 kbps produces quality roughly equivalent to MP3 at 128 kbps — adequate for general listening but perceptibly below AAC at the same bitrate. At 192 kbps, WMA provides good quality suitable for most listening scenarios. The lossy-to-lossy transcode from MP2 to WMA introduces some additional artifacts, minimized by matching or exceeding the source bitrate.

M1V to WMA conversion serves the niche case of extracting audio from non-standard M1V files for Windows-centric playback environments. Standard video-only M1V files produce no output.
