Joined Jan 25, Messages Windows Media Player relies on users finding and downloading codec packs to fill in the gaps for many common formats that may not be included. While RealPlayer can play Flash video and other file formats. RealPlayer has a built-in, dedicated Converter application with a large selection of devices and computer formats. The software can also be used to transfer media to mobile devices.
This is tuned to transferring files to mobile devices. It automatically identifies the device and selects the best format. For more customization, there are some specifications that can be set manually. Acquiring content from online sources is routine.

Sounds like the right way for you to do things. Nothing is perfect. I integrate different digital media tools with overlapping features all the time. In order to evaluate them, I use each product to compare their features and benefits. Then I write my opinions to give readers a reference point in helping to choose which might be best for their needs.
Yours sound like they are set too low. There are several Devices you could chose to in order to convert to WMV. Each has Format and Quality drop-down menus to specify the exact technical specifications you want the resulting WMV file to have. Video Details also includes a Resolution menu. These menu settings range from Automatic which uses the settings from the original file you are converting from as closely as possible , to high quality, very high bits rates of 15Mbps large files to a very poor quality, very low bit rates of kbps small files.
Corresponding settings are available for Audio. The converted file will also suffer more degradation if the original is not good quality to begin with, because poor quality will only be made more so. This also applies to Audio bit rates. Several ways to go here. Most offer various resolution quality very small to SD to HD you can view and download.
Formats are a different story. Sites often detect the type of device you are using and automatically select the best format for that device. An additional variable are Web Browser Extensions or Plugins that can help simplify downloads.
You need to be careful here though.
