What is a WTV file?
WTV (Windows Recorded TV Show) is a proprietary video format developed by Microsoft for use with Windows Media Center. It is used to store TV recordings, including metadata like broadcast information and closed captions.
WTV files are primarily found on Windows PCs with TV tuners and may require conversion for playback outside that environment.
How to open WTV files
WTV files can be played in Windows Media Center or VLC (with limitations). They are mainly used for recorded TV shows on Windows systems.
To play them elsewhere, convert WTV to MP4 or another format using AnyConv or specialized video software.
