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.

mod

MOD is a video recording format developed by JVC and used in hard disk drive and flash memory-based camcorders, particularly the JVC Everio series that debuted in 2004. The format stores standard-definition MPEG-2 program stream video alongside MPEG-1 Layer II or Dolby Digital audio, producing files that are structurally similar to VOB files found on DVDs. This similarity to DVD-Video data means MOD files can often be played or processed by tools designed for MPEG-2 content, sometimes requiring only a file extension rename. JVC designed MOD as a practical bridge between tape-based DV recording and fully file-based workflows, allowing users to record directly to removable storage for immediate computer access without tape capture delays. The format records at standard definition resolutions of 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL) at bit rates sufficient for consumer home video quality. MOD files are organized alongside metadata in a directory structure on the recording device that tracks clip information, recording dates, and playlist data. Panasonic and Canon also adopted the MOD format in some of their consumer camcorder models, extending its reach beyond JVC products. While the shift to high-definition recording has largely phased out MOD for new production, the format remains relevant for accessing and converting archived footage from the mid-2000s generation of file-based camcorders.

w64

W64 (Wave64) is a 64-bit audio container originally designed by Sonic Foundry — creators of Sound Forge — and later maintained by Sony after acquiring Sonic Foundry's desktop software division in 2003. The format directly addresses the 4 GB file-size ceiling imposed by Microsoft's 32-bit RIFF/WAV specification, a limitation that becomes problematic during long recording sessions, multi-channel captures, or high-sample-rate productions. W64 achieves this by extending chunk identifiers and size fields to 64 bits, using GUIDs instead of four-character codes. This structural change permits files to reach sizes measured in exabytes, effectively removing any practical storage constraint. The format supports arbitrary sample rates, bit depths, and channel configurations, making it well suited for film scoring, live concert recording, and scientific data acquisition. Sound Forge, Audacity, and other professional digital audio workstations provide native W64 support for seamless import and export. For engineers and producers who routinely work with long-form, high-fidelity material, W64 offers the reliability and simplicity of WAV without the frustrating size restriction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert MOD to W64?

W64 provides Sony Wave64 for large uncompressed audio — convert when your workflow or target system specifically requires this audio format.

What plays W64 files?

Sony Sound Forge, Audacity, and VLC can handle W64 playback for audio listening and processing purposes.

Is audio quality preserved?

Quality depends on the encoding settings you choose. Configure parameters before converting to achieve your desired fidelity.

Can I adjust encoding settings?

Yes — set sample rate, encoding quality, and other options before conversion to tailor the W64 output to your needs.

Is extraction faster than video?

Audio extraction skips video processing entirely, so MOD to W64 conversion is faster than full video format changes.
