The codec to encode the audio track. Codec "Without reencoding" copies the audio stream from the input file into output without re-encoding if possible.
Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.

f4v

F4V is a multimedia container format developed by Adobe Systems as an evolution of the Flash Video ecosystem. Introduced in December 2007 with Flash Player 9 Update 3, F4V is based on the ISO base media file format (MPEG-4 Part 14) and was created to support the H.264 video codec and AAC audio within the Adobe Flash platform. Unlike its predecessor FLV, which used a proprietary container structure, F4V adopts the standardized MP4-compatible atom/box architecture, making it more interoperable with other media tools and workflows. The format supports advanced features including high-profile H.264 encoding, multichannel AAC audio, and timed text for subtitles and captions. F4V represented a strategic move to address the growing demand for H.264 content on the web, as the older FLV container could not efficiently package this newer codec. During its peak years, F4V powered much of the high-quality video content delivered through Flash-based streaming platforms and video players on the web. The container supports both progressive download and dynamic streaming delivery, offering content publishers flexible distribution options. While the decline of Flash Player in favor of HTML5 video has reduced the creation of new F4V content, the MP4-based structure means the contained media streams are readily accessible through modern tools.

voc

VOC (Creative Voice) is a digital audio container developed by Creative Technology and introduced alongside the original Sound Blaster card in 1989. It served as the native audio format for the Sound Blaster family during the DOS era, when Creative's hardware dominated PC audio. VOC files are block-based: each file consists of typed data blocks that can carry 8-bit unsigned PCM, 4-bit and 2.6-bit Creative ADPCM, 16-bit signed PCM, as well as A-law and mu-law encoded audio. This block structure also supports silence intervals, repeat loops, and marker points, giving game developers fine-grained control over sound playback. A notable advantage was hardware-level decoding — Sound Blaster cards could play VOC data directly via DMA transfer, freeing the CPU for other tasks in an era when processor cycles were precious. The format saw extensive use in DOS games from id Software, Sierra, and LucasArts. With the rise of Windows and the WAV format, VOC gradually fell out of mainstream use, yet it remains important for retro gaming preservation and for anyone working with vintage PC audio archives.
