Microsoft's proprietary multimedia data encoding and file formats.

Although there's support on Linux for them through FFmpeg, this is not supported by Microsoft. Platform support is therefore officially limited to Windows, Xbox and X360.

Most commonly WMV is used for pre-rendered cinematics, though occasionally one can see music stored in WMA.

On Windows these commonly require a specific version of Windows Media Player to be installed (or newer).
