WAV is uncompressed lossless audio — pristine but large (~10 MB per minute at CD quality). Convert to WAV when your destination is audio production (DAWs like Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools all use WAV natively), voice-over delivery, or when a broadcaster / stock-audio marketplace specifies uncompressed. Never for casual listening — file sizes make no sense.
Pulling the soundtrack out of a video means dropping every video frame and keeping only the audio stream — smaller file, listen-only content.
Files up to 10 MB on the free plan, up to 1 GB on Pro — enough for lecture recordings, music videos, podcast video versions, and screen captures. Long videos (hour-plus) need Pro because the audio track alone can push past the free ceiling.
For voice content (interviews, lectures, podcasts), 128 kbps WAV is more than enough. For music, aim higher — 192 kbps for casual listening, 320 kbps if you want transparency to the source. The source can't go higher than it already is; if the video's audio was already 128 kbps AAC, exporting at 320 kbps just makes a bigger file.
Extraction is fast — a 30-minute video typically produces its WAV in a few seconds. Both the video you uploaded and the extracted audio are permanently deleted from our servers within 30 minutes.
A TS container holds separate video and audio streams. Extraction reads the audio stream, re-encodes it (or copies it, if the target codec matches) into your chosen WAV container, and throws away the video entirely. Metadata like title and track info carry over where the format supports it.
Six scenarios where extracting audio to WAV solves a real problem.
A recorded lecture, webinar, or class captured as TS carries hours of good audio and a static talking head. Extracting to WAV produces something you can listen to on a commute — much smaller, playable on any audio app.
For music videos of tracks you own, extracting the WAV lets you add the song to your regular listening rotation without needing to keep the video around. (Do keep an eye on rights — extraction from third-party sources isn't a licence.)
Recording a video interview and then distributing the audio-only version to podcast platforms is standard practice. Extracting to WAV gives you the podcast episode without touching the video edit.
Whisper, Otter, and every other transcription service accept audio directly. Uploading video wastes bandwidth and, in some cases, is rejected outright. Extract to WAV first, upload, get the transcript back in a fraction of the time.
Sound effects and short clips extracted from videos become WAV files ready to import into audio editors, DAWs, or ringtone makers. Video is unnecessary baggage for these use cases; extracting saves the round-trip.
A 1 GB TS lecture recording carries maybe 60 MB of actual audio. If the video track is disposable — say, a talking head — extracting to WAV cuts storage by 90% while preserving the content that matters.
TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is a standard container format used primarily for broadcasting digital video over networks where data loss or corruption is possible. Defined in the MPEG-2 standard, TS files break video and audio into small packets that can be reassembled even if portions are lost in transit. This makes it the backbone of digital television (DVB, ATSC), Blu-ray discs, and HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) delivery.
TS files are commonly encountered when recording from digital TV tuners, capturing IPTV streams, or working with HLS video segments. While not ideal for local playback compared to MP4 or MKV, the format excels in live broadcasting scenarios. Converting TS to MP4 is one of the most common operations, as it makes the video playable on virtually any device.
