PrivateRemix handles the WMV-to-MP4 conversion in a couple of clicks, with the result saved right next to your original file.
Unlike free online converters, PrivateRemix has no server. Your WMV files stay on your Mac — no upload, no cloud, no account.
Drag a WMV file into PrivateRemix, or pick one from your Mac.
Select MP4 from the formats PrivateRemix offers for your file.
The new MP4 appears next to the original. Nothing leaves your Mac.
The change is minimal. Both formats are compressed, and you choose the size-versus-quality balance — Smaller file, Balanced, or Best quality — so everyday use shows no visible or audible drop.
Not without extra software. Converting WMV to MP4 lets it play natively on Mac, iPhone and almost anything else.
For sharing and playback, yes — MP4 is supported by nearly every phone, TV, browser and editor, which is why it's the safe default.
No. PrivateRemix runs entirely on your Mac using its own processor. Your WMV files never leave the device — there is no server to upload to, and it works fully offline.
Yes. Drop in a batch of WMV files and PrivateRemix converts them all locally, saving each new MP4 next to its original.
