Convert MP4 to MP3

Converting one file format to another may be necessary for various reasons. So, for example, you may want to convert MP4 to MP3 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).

MP3 (formally MPEG-1 Audio Layer III or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III) is an encoding format for digital audio developed primarily by the Fraunhofer Society in Germany with support from other digital scientists in the United States and other countries. Today, most of the audio recordings that a person listens to almost every day are presented in the form of universal MP3 files, since they are the most common and demanded in terms of the format for storing audio information. MP3 format is a streaming format. This means that data transmission occurs as a stream of independent separate data blocks - frames. For this, the original signal during encoding is divided into sections of equal duration, called frames and encoded separately. When decoding, the signal is formed from a sequence of decoded frames. Unlike conventional archivers, which need to manage to compress information in such a way that not a single bit is changed in it after extraction from the archive, MP3 serves somewhat different purposes. In addition to mathematical compression algorithms, this format also contains the most complex algorithm for removing unnecessary audio information, based on the psychological and physiological characteristics of the human body.
