Extract text from Widevine DRM videos (WVM)
To convert WVM DRM videos to another format, you need Google TV or other Video software.
To convert other file formats to the "DRM Encrypted Video" file type, you need software like Google TV or a similar tool.
A .WVM file is a proprietary video format encrypted with Widevine DRM. It is mainly used by Google to distribute purchased or rented media through its platforms.
To play these files, users traditionally needed the Google Play Movies & TV or current Google TV applications.
Users often want to convert .WVM to MP4 to watch their purchased videos offline on generic media players like VLC. However, the primary disadvantage of .WVM is its strict Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection. It is a closed, proprietary format that blocks unauthorized playback and screen recording. Standard video tools cannot decode it.
The most requested target formats are MP4, MKV, or AVI. Converting requires decrypting the DRM, which standard online converters cannot legally or technically do.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because the DRM encryption requires a valid license key tied to the user's Google account. Often only the original software can properly read or export the data. With convert.guru, you can just drag and drop your file to identify the format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your WVM file.
Users also converted WMV, VTT, EXO and GVI files.
If you want to convert WVM file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use Google TV or similar software from the "DRM-Protected Video Distribution" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to WVM, try Google TV or another comparable tool in the "DRM-Protected Video Distribution" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our WVM converter.
