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.

mpg

MPG is a common file extension for video files encoded using the MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 compression standards, developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group. The three-character extension originated from early Windows and DOS file systems that restricted extensions to three characters, providing a shorthand for the longer MPEG designation. MPG files contain MPEG program streams that multiplex one video and one or more audio elementary streams into a unified byte stream with synchronization timestamps. The format was widely used throughout the 1990s and 2000s for storing digital video on personal computers, appearing in everything from Video CD rips and DVD extractions to digital TV recordings captured with hardware encoder cards. MPG files using MPEG-1 compression typically contain 352x240 (NTSC) or 352x288 (PAL) video at bit rates around 1.5 Mbps, while MPEG-2 encoded MPG files support higher resolutions up to full HD. The program stream structure assumes a relatively reliable storage medium, unlike the transport stream variant designed for broadcast, making it efficient for file-based playback without the overhead of error recovery packets. Broad compatibility is one of the enduring strengths of the format, as virtually every media player across all operating systems can decode these files without additional codec installation. MPG continues to be encountered in archived video content, surveillance recordings, and legacy digital video workflows.

caf

CAF (Core Audio Format) is a flexible audio container developed by Apple and introduced with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger in 2005. Built to overcome limitations of older formats, CAF eliminates the 4 GB file size ceiling that constrains WAV and AIFF, theoretically supporting unlimited length. The container accommodates virtually any codec — AAC, ALAC, MP3, linear PCM, IMA ADPCM, and more — within a unified wrapper. Its chunk-based architecture stores audio alongside rich metadata including channel layouts, marker regions, annotations, and MIDI data. A defining advantage is handling extremely long recordings: broadcasters and field recordists can capture hours of continuous audio without size boundaries. Flexible codec support is another strength, as one container works whether the content is high-resolution 24-bit/192 kHz lossless audio or compressed speech. Apple's Core Audio framework provides native support on macOS and iOS, ensuring low-latency playback in professional applications like Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro. For Apple ecosystem workflows requiring both versatility and scale, CAF is an exceptionally capable choice.
