DVR-MS - Phase Out

Phase Out

Starting with Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008 and moving forward, Microsoft has indicated that DVR-MS is being replaced with the WTV format.

An update is available for Windows Media Player 11 in Windows Vista to add playback support for WTV. Microsoft does not, however, provide a generic DirectShow filter to enable playback support in third party DirectShow-based media players on Windows Vista or on Windows XP Media Center Edition.

Windows 7 includes built-in support for converting non copy-protected WTV files to DVR-MS. Third party tools also exist to convert WTV to DVR-MS such as Andy VT's ToDVRMS and 3LS's ConvertWTV.

Famous quotes containing the word phase:

    The Indians feel that each stage is crucial and that the child should be allowed to dwell in each for the appropriate period of time so that every aspect of his being can evolve, just as a plant evolves in the proper time and sequence of the seasons. Otherwise, the child never has a chance to master himself in any one phase of his life.
    Alan Quetone (20th century)

    I had let preadolescence creep up on me without paying much attention—and I seriously underestimated this insidious phase of child development. You hear about it, but you’re not a true believer until it jumps out at you in the shape of your own, until recently quite companionable child.
    Susan Ferraro (20th century)
