What is a WAV file?

WAV files are a high-quality audio format developed by Microsoft and IBM in 1991. Their primary purpose was to allow the extraction of CD audio without sacrificing sound quality. WAV files are mainly used for lossless (uncompressed) audio, although they can also support lossy (compressed) audio. Due to their large file size, WAV files are not commonly used for internet transmission. Instead, users often convert them to other formats that are more internet-friendly. This enables easy sharing and distribution of audio content over the internet while retaining good quality sound.

What is an AC3 file?

An AC3 file is an audio file encoded using Dolby Digital's AC-3 (Audio Codec 3) format, widely used for surround sound systems. It supports up to six discrete audio channels, commonly referred to as 5.1 surround sound: front left, front right, center, rear left, rear right, and a subwoofer channel. Known for its efficient compression, AC3 delivers high-quality audio with relatively small file sizes, making it ideal for DVDs, Blu-ray discs, streaming platforms, and digital broadcasting. The format balances clarity and spatial audio effects, creating immersive listening experiences in both home theater systems and professional cinematic environments.
