Convert MP4 to FLAC

Converting one file format to another may be necessary for various reasons. So, for example, you may want to convert MP4 to FLAC if your computer, phone or other device does not support MP4 format. Also, conversion is often required to reduce the file size, since the original format takes up too much space in the device's memory. Perhaps you just need to extract the audio track from the video file, in which case converting the video to audio format is a good option. In any case, with the help of our converter, you can easily complete the required task. Below you can find out some details about the original and new file formats.

While most of us only watch videos or movies almost every day, few are interested in formats. Typically, each operating system or software has its own formats, but some of them, such as MP4, are universal, making them much easier to distribute and use. MP4 file can contain video, audio, graphics and subtitles. Typically, a file with this extension is a video, movie, or other video. The MP4 format is widely used for video transmission over the Internet and distribution of mobile media content. The MP4 format is an add-on plug-in to MPEG4, which is a standard for storing encoded multimedia content (sound files, video content, etc.). In fact, MP4 is a technical specification, the requirements for which are established in the international standard ISO 14496-1. The most popular media format these days is MP4. Usually the built-in video player is enough to open it, but users often resort to additional software. The format allows for streaming over the Internet. In this case, data containing information necessary for broadcasting is transmitted along with the file. MP4 is one of the new standards in the world for digital coding of video and audio information. This format serves as a container for various types of audio and video streams (i.e. it does not include any information compression algorithms).

FLAC or Free Lossless Audio Codec is a free codec designed for lossless compression of audio files. Usually it compresses the original WAV file - and, unlike lossy compression (which is provided by the MP3, AAC, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, Opus formats), FLAC does not remove anything from the audio data stream. Thus, you get (with a compatible decoder in the system) perfect quality - and noticeably fewer files. It provides complete safety of all data from the audio stream, is capable of compressing from 1.4 to 4 times with a bit rate of 350-1010 kbps, is used to create audio collections and are used for listening on premium equipment. FLAC is currently the most popular lossless audio compression format. If lossless support is declared for any software or hardware, it is almost certain that this software / hardware can play FLAC. The format is the de facto standard among lovers of high-quality sound. In fact, lossless compression can be compared to the WinRAR archiver, which can compress, for example, a text file absolutely without changing the content, but with a decent change in size downward, in comparison with the original original file. This format implies some compression of information, so the same song in FLAC format can take up to half less memory than in WAV format. However, this compression does not affect the quality of the music in any way. it is not music that is archived, as in MP3 format, but the data and processing takes place according to a different principle.
