Lost Your Head on ISMV File Playback?

Q: A video chat room suggested that WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro supports .ismv files, I purchased videos with .ismv suffix from DRM-protected BBC, UK TV website. I wanna know whether the program will support my ISMV files or not? And how do I access it?

Q: I bought a program from the BBC Store, and downloaded it. It came to my machine as an .ismv video. Nothing I've got will open or convert an .ismv video file. Any idea how to handle it?

Q: Hi! I'm trying to convert my .ismv video file to an MP4 as well... I tried to open it with Windows Live Movie Maker but it didn't recognize it. Can you list the steps you used to convert such files? Thank you so much!

A: You may have purchased or downloaded some video files with the .ismv extension, but you are troubled by playing them. There are two reasons for the problem, on the one hand, these videos are encrypted, in which case you can not circumvent the DRM protection, and you are only allowed to use the specific ISMV player provided by the seller to play them. On the other hand, there are very few players and editing software compatible with ISMV format video files. If your ISMV videos are unencrypted, follow this guide to convert ISMV files to MP4 for convenient usage.

Extended Knowledge - Smooth Streaming MPEG-4 Multimedia Fragment

ISMV is a video file encoded for Smooth Streaming on a Microsoft IIS server and is used to stream video into Silverlight and other compatible clients. The file is saved in a fragmented format, which stores the video in smaller parts within the overall video container. Besides, ISMV files can be encoded using the paid version of Microsoft Expression Encoder.
