About MKV and WAV Formats

What is MKV?

MKV is an open container that can hold several audio, video and subtitle tracks. Audio is commonly AAC, AC-3, DTS, Opus or FLAC.

Commonly used for:

  • Films and TV episodes
  • Blu-ray rips
  • OBS recordings

What is WAV?

WAV was introduced by Microsoft and IBM in 1991 and stores audio as uncompressed PCM samples. CD-quality stereo WAV (16-bit, 44.1 kHz) uses about 10 MB per minute, and every audio editor, DAW and media player can open it.

  • Recording, editing and mixing in any DAW
  • Mastering and archiving at full quality
  • Broadcast, sampling and sound-design work
  • Maximum compatibility with hardware and software

Why convert MKV to WAV?
