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.

VOX is a headerless audio format built around Dialogic ADPCM encoding, widely adopted in telephony, interactive voice response (IVR) systems, and voice mail platforms since the 1980s. Each audio sample is compressed into 4 bits using an algorithm developed by Oki Electric and implemented in hardware on Dialogic Corporation's telephony interface cards. VOX files typically use a sampling rate of 6000 or 8000 Hz, producing extremely compact recordings optimized for speech intelligibility rather than musical fidelity. Because the format carries no header, playback software must know the sample rate and encoding parameters in advance — a trade-off that reduces overhead but demands careful file management. The primary advantage of VOX is storage efficiency: a one-minute voice recording at 8 kHz occupies roughly 240 KB, making it practical for systems storing thousands of prompts. Dialogic ADPCM conforms to the ITU-T G.726 standard, ensuring interoperability across telephony equipment from different vendors. Even as modern call centers migrate to IP-based systems with codecs like Opus, vast libraries of VOX recordings persist in legacy IVR deployments and compliance archives worldwide.
