File Format
FLAC Files
Free Lossless Audio Codec files are audio files that are typically 50 to 60 % smaller than regular
Wave files.
1 Compression Level
Sets the compression level for the FLAC file. Since FLAC is a lossless format, the level has
more influence on the encoding speed than on the file size.
Ogg Vorbis Files
Ogg Vorbis is an open source, patent-free audio encoding and streaming technology, offering
compressed audio files of small size, but with comparatively high audio quality. Ogg Vorbis files
have the extension .ogg.
1 Quality
Sets the quality for the variable bit rate encoding. This setting determines between which
limits the bit rate will vary. The higher the value, the higher the sound quality but also the
larger the files.
Wave 64 Files
Wave 64 is a proprietary format developed by Sonic Foundry Inc. Wave 64 files have the
extension .w64.
NOTE
In terms of audio quality, Wave 64 files are identical to standard Wave files, but in the file
headers, Wave 64 files use 64-bit values for addressing where Wave files use 32-bit values. The
consequence of this is that Wave 64 files can be considerably larger than standard Wave files.
Wave 64 is therefore a good file format choice for long recordings, for example, if the file sizes
exceed 2 GB.
1 Insert Broadcast Wave Chunk
