Settings

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.
Adjust the audio volume by selecting a number of decibels. For example, -10 dB decreases the volume by 10 decibels.

FLV (Flash Video) is a container format originally developed by Macromedia and later maintained by Adobe Systems after the 2005 acquisition. The format gained support for standalone playback with Flash Player 7 in 2003 and quickly became the dominant video format on the web, powering platforms like YouTube, Hulu, and Vimeo during the late 2000s. FLV files typically contain video encoded with the Sorenson Spark or VP6 codec alongside MP3 or ADPCM audio, wrapped in a lightweight proprietary container optimized for streaming delivery. The major strength of FLV was its ability to deliver consistent video playback across different operating systems and browsers through the ubiquitous Flash Player plugin, solving the fragmentation problem that plagued web video at the time. FLV files begin with a compact header followed by tagged data packets, a structure that enables fast seeking and efficient progressive download. The container supports embedded metadata with cue points, enabling interactive features like chapter navigation and timed events. FLV transformed online video from an unreliable niche experience into a mainstream medium, fundamentally reshaping entertainment, education, and communication on the internet. Although HTML5 video and modern codecs have replaced Flash-based delivery, FLV files remain in countless archives and legacy systems.

WavPack is an open-source audio codec created by David Bryant, with version 1.0 released on August 15, 1998. What sets WavPack apart is its unique hybrid mode: the encoder can simultaneously produce a compact lossy file and a separate correction file that, when combined, reconstruct the original PCM stream bit-for-bit. Users who need portability carry just the lossy file; those who want archival quality keep both. The codec handles PCM audio from 8-bit to 32-bit integer and 32-bit floating point, with sample rates up to 768 kHz — specifications broad enough for DSD content, which WavPack 5 added support for. Compression ratios in pure lossless mode typically reach 40 to 55 percent of the original size, competitive with FLAC and often slightly better on certain material. Multicore encoding in later versions dramatically speeds up processing on modern hardware. The open-source library ships under a BSD license and has been integrated into foobar2000, VLC, FFmpeg, and numerous other tools. WavPack also supports rich metadata through APEv2 tags, embedded cue sheets, and ReplayGain values, covering the organizational needs of even the most meticulous music library.
