Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .SSM file? Do you want to convert a .SSM file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .SSM

Full Name Developer Category
RealAudio Standard Streaming Metafile N/A Video Files
.SSM

The SSM file extension is a multimedia container format developed by the Microsoft Corporation and used with the Windows Media Player programs. It is sometimes referred to as a Standard Streaming Metafile Format and is an upgrade from the earlier SSF file type. The primary purpose of this format is to store streaming media content such as audio and video streams. This type of file may also contain other types of information depending on the usage.

The SSM file format can be opened on both Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X computers or devices using the Windows Media Player programs. It can also be accessed on other devices such as audio-video players, mobile phones, and gaming consoles that support the playback of streaming media files. The primary function of this type of file is to store and stream audio and/or video data, making it one of the best formats for streaming multimedia files over the internet.

Other similar file type extensions used with streaming media include .sami, .asf, .smi, .wmv, .wma, and wvr.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SSM) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SSM extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SSM file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SSM extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SSM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SSM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SSM file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SSM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SSM file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .SSM file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .SSM file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
