What is MKV?

MKV (Matroska Video) is an open container that can hold multiple audio tracks, video streams, and subtitles. MKV files often contain high-quality audio in formats like FLAC, DTS, or AAC — sometimes multiple language tracks in a single file.

Extracting audio from MKV is useful for getting soundtracks, dialogue, podcasts, or music from video files for separate use in audio editing or playback.

What is WAV?

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) stores uncompressed PCM audio — the raw digital representation of sound. At CD quality (44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo), WAV files use about 10 MB per minute.

WAV is the universal standard for audio editing. Every DAW (Audacity, Logic Pro, Ableton, Pro Tools) and media player supports WAV natively without plugins or codecs.

Frequently Asked Questions
