I know know but:

"WMV stands for Windows Media Video -- developed and controlled by
Microsoft. WMV is a generic name of Microsoft's video encoding
solutions and doesn't necessarily define the technology what it uses
-- since version 7 (WMV7) Microsoft has used its own flavour of MPEG-4
video encoding technology (not very surprising, it's not compatible
with other MPEG-4 technologies..)."...."
