Convert WEBM to FLAC

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

A WEBM file is a compressed video saved in the WebM format, an open high quality video standard. It stores video compressed using VP8 technology and compressed audio using Ogg Vorbis compression. WEBM files are commonly used to deliver online video using HTML5. A WEBM file is a video in the open WebM format, which is widely used to broadcast videos over the Internet, including YouTube. The format complies with the HTML5 standard and is a container in which compressed video and audio streams are packed. The WebM file container contains a video stream compressed using the VP8 or VP9 codecs, an audio stream compressed with the Vorbis or Opus codec, and subtitles such as WebVTT may also be present. In fact, the structure of the WebM file repeats the Matroska media container, only in a very truncated form regarding the variety of formats and codecs used in MKV. The file with the WEBM extension is an innovative video presentation format that was released in 2010. The copyright holder of this extension is Google. Native WebM support in Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome was announced at the 2010 Google I / O conference. But high video quality and low file weight have already earned him a solid reputation. The format was supported in HTML5 and was originally intended for placement on web pages.

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.
