Convert MPEG to WAV

Converting one file format to another may be necessary for various reasons. So, for example, you may want to convert MPEG to WAV if your computer, phone or other device does not support MPEG 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.

In January 1988, an expert working group on coding of moving images was formed within the framework of the joint information technology technical committee JTC1 of the International Organization for Standardization ISO and the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC, which was tasked with developing standards for image and sound coding with the aim of eliminating redundancy. MPEG compression standards were developed by Moving Picture Experts Group. This technology defines the compression standards for both audio and video information and makes it convenient for transmission in broadcast. There are many versions of the format - MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-3, MPEG-4, etc. MPEG-1 is a lossy compression standard for video and audio. It is designed to compress VHS. Perhaps everyone is familiar with the MPEG-2 format. It is this format that underlies DVD-Video discs. The MPEG-2 format is also the basis for digital television standards. The MPEG3 standard was originally developed for use in High Definition Television (HDTV) systems with a data rate of 20-40 Mbps. The new MPEG4 standard, which appeared at the very end of 1999, offers a broader view of media reality. The standard defines the principles for working with content (digital representation of media data) for three areas: interactive multimedia itself (including products distributed on optical discs and over the Internet), graphics applications (synthetic content) and digital television (DTV).

WAV or WAVE is rightly considered the main audio format. It is used for recording and processing sound, since recording in WAV is uncompressed. Encoded to any other audio format. Well, as a result, it weighs quite a lot, therefore it is used mainly for sound recording. WAV extension is a standard digital audio format used to store signal data. Audio recordings can be stored at various frequencies and bit rates, often in 44.1 kHz, 16-bit, stereo format, which is the standard format for audio CDs. Waveform Audio File Format is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing audio stream on a PC. This is the main format used on Windows systems for raw and usually uncompressed audio. Most often, WAV files store sound in its original form, without compression, but they support compression, so the sound or music that has the WAV extension is not always original. WAV occupies a significant amount of memory space, much more than the popular MP3 or AAC, which is why very few people use this format to store their own audio library on a computer. The standard Audio-CD format, for example, is LPCM audio, with 2 channels, 44 100 Hz sampling rate and 16 bits per sample. Since the LPCM format stores uncompressed audio that is absolutely identical to the original, it allows professional users and audio experts to use it for maximum sound quality.
