About formats

WTV (Windows Recorded TV Show) is a digital video recording format developed by Microsoft and introduced in July 2008 with the Windows Media Center TV Pack for Windows Vista. The format was designed to replace the earlier DVR-MS recording format used by Windows Media Center, offering a more capable container for recording live television broadcasts. WTV files store video in MPEG-2 or H.264 encoding alongside multiple audio tracks in AC-3 or MPEG audio format, along with closed caption data, electronic program guide metadata, and copy protection flags. The container uses an internal directory structure that supports time-shifting features, allowing Windows Media Center to record content while simultaneously enabling playback from the beginning of the recording. A rich metadata framework preserves detailed program information from the electronic program guide (EPG), including show title, episode description, genre, ratings, and original air date, making it easy to organize and browse recorded content. The format supports both standard definition and high definition recordings from digital cable, over-the-air ATSC, and ClearQAM tuner sources. WTV files are natively accessible through Windows Media Center and can be converted to the simpler DVR-MS format using built-in Windows tools. While Windows Media Center was discontinued after Windows 7 (with limited support in Windows 8), WTV files remain in personal media archives and can be processed by third-party video tools.

TXW is the native audio sample format of the Yamaha TX16W, a rack-mounted digital sampler released by Yamaha in 1988. Each TXW file stores a single audio sample captured by the TX16W's 12-bit analog-to-digital converters, with selectable sampling rates of 16.7 kHz, 33.3 kHz, and 50 kHz in mono. The format was engineered to work within the sampler's architecture — 1.5 MB of onboard RAM expandable via memory cards — so files are compact and structured for quick loading from 3.5-inch floppy disks. Despite its 12-bit resolution, the TX16W earned a loyal following among electronic musicians who prized its distinctive warm, slightly gritty character that imparted a recognizable sonic texture to sampled material. The format preserves loop point data and tuning metadata, enabling seamless playback of sustain loops within the hardware. While TXW files are not directly playable in most modern software, conversion utilities and the SoX audio toolkit can transform them into contemporary formats like WAV or AIFF. For vintage synth enthusiasts and sample library curators, TXW remains an important archival format.
