About formats

WMV (Windows Media Video) is a family of video codecs and associated file format developed by Microsoft, first introduced in 1999 as part of the Windows Media framework. The format encompasses several codec generations, from the original WMV 7 through WMV 9 (also standardized as VC-1 by SMPTE under the 421M specification). WMV files are typically contained within the ASF (Advanced Systems Format) wrapper and use the .wmv extension to indicate video content. WMV 9/VC-1 achieved compression efficiency comparable to early H.264 implementations, delivering good visual quality at moderate bit rates and earning adoption for HD DVD and Blu-ray disc content as an approved codec. The format was deeply integrated into the Windows operating system, Windows Media Player, and server-side streaming infrastructure, making it a natural choice for enterprise media delivery, corporate training videos, and Windows-centric web content throughout the 2000s. WMV supports features including interlaced video, multiple bit rate encoding for adaptive streaming, and digital rights management through Windows Media DRM. The Silverlight platform also used WMV as its primary video format for rich internet applications and streaming services. While the industry has largely moved to H.264 and HEVC for most applications, WMV remains present in legacy enterprise content management systems, archived media libraries, and workflows tied to the Windows Media ecosystem.

Initial release: 1999
MAUD is an audio file format developed by MacroSystem for the Commodore Amiga platform, introduced in the early 1990s as part of their digital video and audio production tools. Built on the Amiga IFF (Interchange File Format) chunk architecture, MAUD files organize data into clearly delineated chunks — MHDR for the header, MDAT for sample data, and optional annotation chunks for metadata. The format supports mono and stereo layouts with bit depths of 8 or 16 bits and sample rates up to 48 kHz, which represented professional-grade specifications on Amiga hardware. Both signed linear PCM and A-law/mu-law encodings are available, offering a choice between fidelity and file size. MAUD saw primary use in the Amiga video production community, where MacroSystem Retina and VLab Motion boards demanded synchronized audio that the standard 8SVX format could not deliver. Conversion support exists today through SoX and libsndfile, ensuring vintage Amiga productions remain recoverable. Three distinct advantages stand out: clean IFF-based structure that any chunk-aware parser can navigate, 16-bit stereo capability ahead of typical Amiga audio, and lightweight overhead that left maximum CPU headroom for video rendering.
Initial release: 1992
