Frequently Asked Questions
What is WAV format?
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is Microsoft's standard for uncompressed PCM audio. It's the most widely supported lossless audio format, compatible with virtually all devices and software. WAV can store multi-channel surround sound.
Should I choose Stereo or Original channels?
Choose Stereo for standard playback on headphones, phones, or stereo systems - the 5.1/7.1 surround will be intelligently downmixed. Choose Original to preserve the full multi-channel surround sound for home theater systems, archiving, or professional editing work.
Should I choose 16-bit or 24-bit?
24-bit provides greater dynamic range (144 dB vs 96 dB) and is ideal for professional work, archiving, or further processing. 16-bit is CD quality and sufficient for final listening copies. For surround sound archiving or professional use, 24-bit is recommended.
How large will WAV files be?
WAV files are uncompressed and very large. A 3-minute stereo track at 16-bit will be about 30 MB. At 24-bit, it's ~50 MB. For 5.1 surround, multiply by 3. For 7.1 surround, multiply by 4. This is much larger than compressed formats but preserves full quality.
DTS to WAV vs DTS to FLAC - which should I choose?
WAV offers universal compatibility and is perfect for editing or immediate playback. FLAC provides identical quality but with 40-50% smaller file sizes, better for archiving. Choose WAV for maximum compatibility and editing, FLAC for efficient storage.
