Convert WAV to MPEG
What is WAV?
WAV
WAV is audio-only, containing waveform samples without visual data. Video formats require synchronized visual frame sequences at 24-60fps alongside audio tracks. WAV lacks video streams—creating video from audio requires adding visual components like static images, animated waveforms, frequency spectrum analyzers, or lyric text. This requires video editing or motion graphics software, not simple format conversion.
- WAV contains pure audio data requiring video track addition for video output
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 WAV format
- Video stream discarded—only audio codec and bitrate matter
