Open WMZ File

WMZ extension files are media container files that are primarily used for Microsoft's Media Player.

WMZ files are mainly used to store skins that define the appearance of the Media Player audio/video player user interface on the Windows desktop operating system.

The WMZ file is a ZIP file that includes graphics and Jscript (JavaScript) that defines the appearance and behavior of user interface elements.

The main control file for a WMZ skin file is the skin definition file, with the WMS extension.

Other file contents include BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, and JS files.

A different WMZ file format is used to store images, namely:

  1. Windows Metafile, WMF extension
  2. Enhanced Metafile, EMF extension

Which are compressed with the Gzip compression algorithm.

The compressed image in WMZ files is made up of raster or vector graphics defined as drawing commands, object definitions, and object properties, and is typically created when older versions of Office programs save documents in HTML format when emailing them.

Although the applications of a WMZ file are of diverse application, they all fit into the Microsoft environment, with the same purpose.
