    Hello.
    I'm trying to convert MP4 file to WMV with the same size,
    using different Video Converters, but getting wmv-file of much less size.
    Bitrate's increase doesn't work. How to achieve the same file's size ?

    The info of MP4 file:
    Code:
    General
    Complete name                            : input.mp4

    Hi, mp4 are video and audio combined.
    Wav files are only audio and sizes cannot be equal by any way of conversion.
    different files format determines the size of the file.

    Use Expression Encoder 3 and choose constant-bitrate OR bitrate-constrained encoding.

    How to achieve the same file's size?
    Why do you want that?

  4. The max quality you can get is with:
    Code:
    ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v wmv2 -q:v 0 -c:a wmav2 -b:a 192k output.wmv

    +1. The original is encoded with high profile AVC. wmv video is an outdated and frankly awful codec. You can't get the same size without an enormous quality loss.
