Supported audio and video codecs
The Player can play files that have been compressed by using any of the following audio and video codecs.
Audio codecs
- Microsoft Windows Media Audio codec versions 1.0, 2.0, 7, 8, and 9
Although Windows Media Player for Mac OS X supports all the variants of the Windows Media Audio 9 codec (including the Windows Media Audio 9, Windows Media Audio 9 Professional, Windows Media Audio 9 Voice, and Windows Media Audio 9 Lossless codecs), the following variants are only partially supported:
- Windows Media Audio 9 Professional codec. Multiple channels are combined into a stereo mix during playback. Content with an audio sampling rate higher than 48 kilohertz (KHz) outputs as 48 KHz.
- Windows Media Audio 9 Lossless codec. Content with an audio sampling rate higher than 48 KHz does not play back.
- ITU-T G.726
