O que é um arquivo WVX?
A WVX file is a redirector file used by Microsoft Windows Media Player to stream video content from the Internet. It acts as a shortcut, containing a URL that links to a .WMV file (it does not store actual video data). Windows Media Player users can open WVX files to quickly access and play streaming video, making them ideal for online video playback.

WVX files have become less common due to the emergence of modern streaming technologies, such as HTML5 video. However, you may still encounter them on older websites that hosted streaming video content or in legacy media applications that support the Windows Media framework.
In the 2000s, web developers created WVX files and embedded them in webpages. When webpage visitors clicked a link or button to play a video, the WVX file executed, playing the WMV video it pointed to without the visitor having to download it.
