WAV

WAV file format

The WAV (WAVE Audio File) format is a widely used uncompressed audio file format developed by Microsoft and IBM, primarily for storing high-quality audio data. It is supported by most media players, audio editors like Audacity and Adobe Audition, and operating systems for playback and editing. WAV files use the RIFF (Resource Interchange File Format) structure, containing chunks for metadata and PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) audio data, and can support advanced features like multiple audio channels, high sample rates, and non-PCM formats like MP3 or ADPCM.

AC3

AC3 file format

AC3 (Audio Codec 3) is a digital audio compression format developed by Dolby Laboratories, commonly used for surround sound in DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and broadcast media. It is supported by media players like VLC, Windows Media Player, and editing tools such as Audacity and Adobe Audition. The format uses perceptual coding to reduce file size while maintaining high-quality audio, supporting up to 5.1-channel surround sound and offering features like dynamic range compression and metadata for playback customization.
