At the dawn of the twenty first century, it was open season on codecs used to create digital content from audio and visual media. Many formats were created by different manufactures looking to secure patents, and for a long time there was debate as to which would be the industry standard, much like VHS and Betamax in the video revolution. Now, we have seen MP3 has become the victor, though Apple’s MP4 and WAV formats still remain contenders. WAV however is a much larger encoding packet and for those wishing to get the maximum amount of music on their devices, the Convert Audio Free WAV converter is now available.

MP4 is a digital encoding package that stores audio and visual information in tandem to be played back as video files, pioneered by Apple technologies and used as the default medium on all Apple and Mac products. The format is preferred by industry experts for its quality and fidelity relative to file size, and many Apple users want to be able to convert their existing video library into MP4 to view on their Apple devices. Convert Audio Free has met this need with a Free MP4 Converter that will translate files of any format into MP4 for easy viewing.

The MOV format, otherwise known as QuickTime format, is a type of media packet that contains both audio and visual information across different bands in order to play them back as a movie. The language used to encode these bands cannot be read without a codec, which unlike more popular formats does not come as a default with most in-built software on Windows PCs, Android phones or other portable devices like tablets. As a result, people often find themselves having problems when trying to view MOV files on non-Apple devices. Convert Audio Free has launched a MOV to AVI converter to solve that problem.

Video codec supremacy has for years been a toss-up between the compressed MPEG and the uncompressed AVI- one offering better portability and the other offering better fidelity. Now however, there are a plethora of codecs including FLV for YouTube and the new MP4 developed by Apple, who insist on its devices playing only their format. For many users, this requires the use of a conversion tool, which has previously been expensive to source and use. Now, Convert Audio Free has developed a free AVI to MP4 conversion tool so that Apple device users can take their media anywhere.

AVI was one of the first video file formats and arguably one of the highest quality formats available for digitally encoding audio visual information. The AVI format does have disadvantages however, it is totally uncompressed, meaning that file sizes balloon even in standard definition. With high definition now becoming the standard, many people are looking to convert their huge AVI collections into slighter, more portable formats such as MPEG and MP4 for use on modern devices including smartphones and tablets. Convert Audio Free have now released a free AVI converter to make that possible.

FLV files, or Flash videos, are the file format of choice for major online video distributors like YouTube and Vimeo, who use the lightweight format to stream their videos effectively for billions of views. Many users opt to make their videos downloadable and many browser plugins offer this option as well, but many users are then frustrated to find they are unable to playback Flash material on their desktops. Convert Audio Free has now moved into the video conversion sector, providing a free FLV player that will solve that problem effectively and immediately.

The WAV format is one of the highest fidelity audio codecs available for digitally encoding audio signals. The cost of this fidelity is file size, which is far greater than the most popular format, MP3. The MP3 format has proven a powerful tool in democratising music thanks to its portability and lightweight file sizes. The WAV format however gives far more options for audio editing and high quality playback through top of the range speaker systems. For those who wish to have the quantity of music available on MP3 but the quality of WAV files, Convert Audio Free has launched a free MP3 to WAV converter to satisfy that need.

MP4 is the newest evolution of QuickTime format codecs created by Apple technologies to playback video content. The format is largely preferred by experts who create high quality video content using Final Cut Pro X, but suffers in its compatibility with the majority of devices in circulation, requiring additional software or codec installation on Windows, Android and all manner of portable devices. This creates a challenge for those wishing to watch their videos anywhere. Fortunately, Covert Audio Free has risen to this challenge with the introduction of their free MP4 to AVI converter.

The online revolution has made media available to the world in previously unprecedented ways. The advent of new technologies means that there are more content creators in visual media than ever before, and many of these are finding their first exposure in online video using sites like YouTube and Vimeo. These sites use Flash to power their video delivery systems, which require videos to be in FLV format. Though in many cases videos can be downloaded easily from these sites, FLV files still can’t be played on most devices without installing additional software. Convert Audio Free has created an FLV to AVI converter that solves this problem.

There’s something special about mp3s. That’s why they’ve completely changed the way audio is consumed. Rather than juggling unwieldy records and countless fragile CDs, an entire music collection can fit in the pocket. Thousands of mp3 playing devices and millions of mp3 files are sold every year, dwarfing the size of the traditional music media market.
