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.

m4v

M4V is a video container format developed by Apple Inc. and introduced alongside the iTunes Video Store in October 2005. Technically, M4V is nearly identical to the standard MP4 format (MPEG-4 Part 14), with the primary distinction being optional FairPlay DRM protection applied to purchased content from the iTunes Store. Unprotected M4V files are fully compatible with any player that handles MP4, as the underlying container structure and codec support are the same. The format typically contains H.264 video and AAC audio, supporting resolutions up to 4K and features like chapter markers, subtitle tracks, and metadata tags for title, artwork, and ratings. Apple chose the M4V extension to distinguish iTunes content from generic MP4 files, primarily so that DRM-protected purchases would be recognized by the Apple ecosystem of devices and software. M4V files play natively on macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Apple TV, and unprotected versions work seamlessly in most major media players across all platforms. The format gained significant traction as the iTunes Store became a dominant platform for purchasing and renting digital movies and TV shows. Compatibility with the broader MP4 ecosystem means that video and audio streams within DRM-free M4V files can be processed by virtually any modern editing or transcoding tool without conversion.

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.
