Raw audio is uncompressed pulse-code modulation (PCM) sound stored with no header at all — just a continuous stream of sample values. Because the file carries no description of itself, the sample rate, bit depth, channel count, and byte order have to be supplied by whoever opens it. That makes raw audio awkward to share but very useful in audio programming, embedded devices, and recovery work, where a plain stream of samples is exactly what is needed.
The standard tool is Audacity. Use File → Import → Raw Data, then set the encoding, sample rate, and channels to match the file.
If you do not know the correct settings, start with 16-bit signed PCM, 44,100 Hz, stereo, and adjust until the audio sounds normal — wrong settings usually produce noise or a chipmunk-like pitch. Command-line users can play or convert raw audio with FFmpeg or SoX. Converting to a self-describing format such as WAV or MP3 saves you from repeating the guesswork. You can also convert the file with our RAW to WAV tool.

Windows Media Video (WMV) is a common and widely supported video format. It compresses the file size with a codec resulting in an easy-to-manage file that maintains the quality of the video. A digital container format, called Advanced Systems Format (ASF), often encapsulates WMV files.
Most media players can open and read WMV (and ASF) files. The best player for opening a WMV file is Microsoft Windows Media Player. Microsoft developed WMV and ASF, and many videos online today are WMV files. VLC media player is another reliable option, which can play multimedia files across several platforms.
WMV is also easy to convert to other video file types. However, keep in mind that the conversion process might cause picture quality to decrease. If a conversion is needed, then HandBrake is a free and open-source tool for converting WMV files.
