AAC is a pure audio codec, while WMV (Windows Media Video) is Microsoft's video format built on the ASF container. Converting AAC to WMV creates a video file with a WMA audio track (transcoded from AAC) and either a blank or static-image video track. This conversion is used when Windows Media-based systems require video container input for what is essentially audio content.
Legacy Windows Media-based digital signage, kiosk systems, and corporate streaming servers may only accept WMV files. Some enterprise presentation systems and corporate intranets built on ASP.NET with Windows Media Player ActiveX controls require WMV input exclusively. Wrapping audio in WMV with a static slide image is also a method for publishing audio-visual content to Windows Media Services.
FFmpeg transcodes the AAC audio to WMA (wmav2) and muxes it with a video track (WMV2 codec) into an ASF container with .wmv extension. The video track can be a solid black frame at 1 fps or a static image (company logo, album art). WMV2 encoding is lightweight for static content. The output plays in Windows Media Player without additional codecs.
The audio undergoes AAC-to-WMA transcoding, which introduces one generation of lossy compression. At WMA 192 kbps, the quality difference from the AAC source is minimal. The video track (if blank) adds negligible file size overhead.

AAC to WMV is a niche conversion for Microsoft enterprise environments. Modern systems should use MP4, but when Windows Media is the only option, this conversion produces compatible output.
