Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I convert DRM-protected M4V files to WAV?
- DRM-protected M4V files often prevent audio extraction unless you have authorized playback permissions.
- Will converting M4V to WAV improve audio quality?
- Conversion extracts decoded audio but does not restore quality lost during M4V compression.
- Why are WAV files larger than other audio formats?
- WAV typically stores uncompressed audio, which results in larger file sizes compared to compressed formats.
