Convert MPEG to M4A
What is MPEG?
MPEG
MPEG video containers include audio tracks (MP2, AC3, or AAC). Extracting audio means demultiplexing—separating audio from video streams. The extracted audio maintains its original encoding quality.
- MPEG combines video and audio streams in a container, allowing audio track extraction
- Contains separate audio track easily extracted to M4A format
- Video stream discarded—only audio codec and bitrate matter
What is M4A?
M4A
M4A is audio-only container without video streams. Video requires visual frame sequences. M4A lacks video data—creating video from M4A audio requires adding visual elements like static images, album artwork, waveform animations, or lyric displays. This requires video editing software combining audio with generated or imported visuals.
- M4A contains pure audio data requiring video track addition for video output
