Turning video into WMA isn't really a conversion: it's an extraction: Flippy lifts the audio track out of your video and re-packs it on its own. You keep the sound and drop the pixels, swapping a video that runs anywhere from short clips to multi-gigabyte recordings for a WMA built for keeping aging Windows Media software and old archives happy.
A classic video to WMA job: camera clips, screen recordings and downloads, bound for legacy Windows software that refuses anything newer.
Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. It comes from wherever your camera, screen recorder or download made it.
WMA is Windows' old house band: big in the early 2000s, mostly retired now. Windows Media Audio, in several variants including a rarely-sighted lossless one. That makes it the right destination when what you need is keeping aging Windows Media software and old archives happy.
Drop your video file into the flipper above, or click to browse for it.
Check the output format: WMA is already selected for you.
Hit Convert, give it a moment, then download your new WMA.
Quality tip for video to WMA: match the source's bitrate rather than exceeding it; WMA gains nothing past roughly 192 kbps. The track inside your video sets the ceiling: an extraction can match it, never beat it.

The WMA is encoded once from the exact track inside the video: from a typical soundtrack the difference is inaudible, but it can't sound better than what the video carried.
Much smaller: you're keeping the audio and dropping the video, which is most of the weight. Expect MP3-ish sizes; the famous 'CD quality at 64 kbps' claim never quite landed.
Windows Media Player and legacy Microsoft software; little else without help. That's the usual reason people leave video behind: WMA simply opens in more of the places that matter.
It scales with length and resolution: short clips finish in seconds, long HD videos can take a few minutes. Files auto-delete within an hour after.
