What is a .WME file?

A .WME file is a type of file that is made by a program called Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 9 Series. This program was used to change live or recorded audio and video into a format that Windows Media can use, like .WMV (video files) or .WMA (audio files). The .WME file saves the settings you choose for changing the audio or video, so you don't have to set them up every time. It's like saving a recipe that you can use again to make the same dish.

To open a .WME file, you would need to have Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 9 Series installed on your computer. However, it's important to know that this program is not made anymore. Microsoft replaced it with a new program called Microsoft Expression Encoder. But if you already have Windows Media Encoder on your computer, you can open .WME files with it.

When you use Windows Media Encoder, you might save a .WME file by going to the menu and choosing File → Save... This is how you keep the settings you've chosen for converting your audio or video. The program also has something called a New Session Wizard. This wizard helps you step by step to set up how you want to convert your files. Plus, there are some .WME files that come with the program. These are like quick start guides with pre-set settings for common types of audio or video you might want to convert, making it faster for you to get started.

In summary, if you find a .WME file on your computer, it means you have used or have the Windows Media Encoder program. These files help save time by keeping the settings you need to convert audio or video into a format that can be played on Windows Media players.
