OGG to WAV
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
OGG to WAV converts the Ogg file, which usually contains Vorbis or Opus audio, to WAV PCM. Ogg is an efficient container for streaming and small sizes, while WAV provides broader editing compatibility. This conversion decodes the lossy audio into a PCM sample, thus increasing the file size. Like other lossy conversions, the quality cannot exceed the original source.
Key points
- Ogg is a container, whereas Vorbis and Opus are audio codecs inside.
- WAV stores uncompressed PCM audio lossy
- The size of the WAV is usually much larger than the Ogg
- Conversion doesn't recover the missing details of the codec lossy
- Maintain sample rate and channel to source equivalent results
