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.

MXF (Material Exchange Format) is a professional media container standardized by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) in 2004 under the SMPTE 377M specification. Designed for the broadcast and post-production industries, MXF provides a vendor-neutral wrapper for carrying video, audio, and rich descriptive metadata between different production systems and platforms. The format supports a wide range of professional codecs including MPEG-2, AVC-Intra, DNxHD, DNxHR, ProRes, and JPEG 2000, making it adaptable to various quality tiers from proxy editing to master-quality archive. An extensive metadata framework is one of the defining characteristics of MXF, carrying production information such as timecodes, clip names, descriptive markers, source references, and technical parameters within a structured Key-Length-Value (KLV) encoding scheme. This metadata travels with the content through the production chain, reducing the risk of information loss when files move between ingest, editing, graphics, playout, and archive systems. MXF files use an operational pattern system that defines different levels of complexity, from simple single-item packages (OP1a) to complex multi-item playlists. Major broadcast equipment manufacturers and file-based workflow systems universally support MXF, and it serves as the interchange format for standards like AS-02 and AS-11 used in broadcasting.

wv

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert MXF to WV?

WavPack offers both lossless and hybrid compression modes — get flexible archival audio from MXF broadcast recordings.

What plays WV files?

Foobar2000, VLC, Winamp, and most audiophile players support WavPack playback without extra plugins.

Is WV lossless?

WavPack supports true lossless mode plus a unique hybrid mode that creates a lossy file with a correction file for full recovery.

How does WV compare to FLAC?

Both are lossless. WavPack offers unique hybrid mode and slightly faster decoding; FLAC has broader device support.

Can I batch convert?
