Converting MP4 to WAV: what to know
MP4 is converted to WAV when the sound of a video is needed for editing, mixing or transcription: audio programs and speech recognition services often accept only WAV.
Only the audio track is kept and the video is dropped, so the file becomes many times smaller. You can save just a fragment by setting the start and end on the timeline. WAV stores sound uncompressed: a minute of stereo takes about 10 MB.
MP4 or WAV: which to choose?
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14)
MP4 is the most compatible video format: it plays on phones, TVs, browsers and social networks.
Best for publishing and sending videos - maximum compatibility at a reasonable size.
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format)
WAV stores uncompressed audio: maximum quality, but about 10 MB per minute.
Best for recording, editing and working in audio editors.
What happens when converting MP4 to WAV
Only the soundtrack is saved, the video track is dropped. You can trim the fragment and change the bitrate, channels and sample rate.
MP4 files up to 2 GB are supported; the actual limit also depends on the free memory of your device.
