Frequently asked questions
Does MP4 to WV keep the video?
No.
WV (WavPack) is an audio-only format, so the video is discarded and only the sound is kept.Is WV lossless - will it improve the audio?
WavPack is lossless, but the MP4's audio is usually already-lossy AAC, so WV preserves that audio exactly and cannot recover any quality that AAC discarded.
Won't the file be larger than the MP4's audio?
Yes. A lossless WV of already-lossy source audio is much larger than the original AAC while sounding the same, so the extra size buys no extra quality.
Where does a WV file play?
VLC and foobar2000 play WV on desktop, but support on phones and mainstream players is limited, so MP3 or WAV is often more convenient.
