About WMV
WMV is an acronym for Windows Media Video and refers to a video compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMV content can be encoded by using Windows Media® Encoder.
  • This player is compatible with WMV9 files that are encoded by using the Windows Media® Encoder 9 Series, with .wmv as an extension.
  • Compatible with size under 720 x 576 pixels/720 x 480 pixels.
  • Advanced Profile is not supported.
  • DRM-protected video files will not play in this player.
The problem might be that your recorded WMV files were encoded using Windows Media Video 9 Advanced profile.

There are lots of video converters you can use to convert your WMV files. Try converting WMV files in batches with freeware MediaCoder. You can try to convert to WMV using Windows Media Video Main or Simple profile.
