WMV HD

Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 video game consoles can also play WMV HD.

As of April 2006, all existing WMV HD titles are encoded using the VC-1 compliant Windows Media Video 9 (FourCC: WMV3) codec conforming to VC-1 Main Profile @ High Level specification.

Most commercially sold WMV HD titles are copy protected using Microsoft Windows Media DRM technology.

The licensing terms of DRM protected titles are determined by the content providers and not Microsoft Corporation.

The soundtracks are commonly encoded using the Windows Media Audio Professional codec, often featuring 5.1 or 7.1 multichannel sound.
