What changes when you convert Y4M to WMA
- Y4M video is lossless and WMA audio is lossy: the quality slider decides how much detail is traded for size, and output files are usually far smaller.
- Y4M video animation cannot be expressed in WMA audio; the first frame is converted as a still image.
- The video’s audio track is extracted and re-encoded to WMA audio; video frames are discarded.
- WMA audio encoding exposes a quality control; around 80 is the usual sweet spot.
- Encoded with the WMA v2 encoder for compatibility; anything serious should target AAC/MP3 instead.
