What is a .WTV file?
WTV files are video files saved in the Windows Recorded TV format, which Microsoft introduced for recording television broadcasts in Windows Media Center. They store digital TV programs along with related information such as program titles, descriptions, channel details, captions, and digital rights management (DRM) data when applicable. WTV files were commonly created on Windows PCs equipped with a TV tuner for recording over-the-air, cable, or satellite broadcasts.
You may encounter WTV files when accessing recordings made with Windows Media Center, transferring archived television programs from an older PC, or preserving personal TV collections. File Viewer Plus can play WTV files and convert them to the widely supported MP4 format.
