Settings

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.

m2v

M2V is a file format containing MPEG-2 video elementary streams without an encapsulating container or associated audio data. Standardized as part of ISO/IEC 13818-2 (also known as ITU-T H.262) by the Moving Picture Experts Group in 1995, M2V stores raw compressed video exactly as it would appear within an MPEG-2 program or transport stream, but stripped of all multiplexing overhead. This makes M2V files primarily useful in professional authoring workflows, particularly DVD production, where video and audio streams are prepared and encoded separately before being muxed together into the final container format. M2V streams support both interlaced and progressive scan modes at resolutions ranging from standard definition up to 1920x1080 HD, with bit rates typically ranging from 2 to 15 Mbps for consumer content and up to 80 Mbps in professional applications. The use of both intra-coded frames and predictive frames provides an effective balance between compression efficiency and random access capability. Because M2V contains only video with no audio or synchronization information, it requires pairing with a separate audio file for complete playback. DVD authoring software commonly expects M2V input alongside AC3 or LPCM audio files, making this format an essential intermediate step in professional disc mastering and broadcast preparation workflows.

wav

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio container jointly developed by Microsoft and IBM, first published in August 1991 alongside Windows 3.1. Built on the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF), WAV stores audio data — most commonly as linear pulse-code modulation (LPCM) — together with metadata describing sample rate, bit depth, and channel count. This straightforward structure has made WAV the de facto standard for uncompressed audio on Windows and a universally accepted interchange format across virtually every operating system, audio editor, and media player in existence. CD-quality WAV files use 16-bit samples at 44.1 kHz stereo, while professional workflows routinely employ 24-bit or 32-bit float samples at rates up to 192 kHz. A major advantage is zero-loss fidelity: because standard WAV applies no compression, the stored data is an exact digital representation of the original recording, making it the preferred choice for mastering and archiving. WAV also supports embedded metadata through INFO and BWF chunks, enabling timestamping and production notes. The main trade-off is file size — one minute of CD-quality stereo occupies roughly 10 MB — and the 32-bit RIFF structure imposes a 4 GB limit, though RF64 removes that ceiling.
