Questions
Does converting MPEG to WAV lose quality?
Nothing more is lost, but the detail MPEG already discarded doesn’t come back.
What is the WAV format?
A container that stores uncompressed PCM audio, the working format of recording studios because the samples are kept exactly as they were captured. Files grow fast, so it’s used for editing and mastering rather than for delivery.
What is the MPEG format?
The MPEG video family, and specifically MPEG-1 and MPEG-2: the standard-definition video of video discs and digital television. MPEG-1 is what early Video CD and DVD used; MPEG-2 is what DVDs, set-top boxes and broadcast use.
Are the files uploaded?
No. The file is opened in this tab, converted here and saved from here. There’s no account and no watermark.
How many files can be converted at once?
Up to 200 per batch and about 2 GB per file, within the memory this device has available.
