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.

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.

What is the benefit of converting M2V to CAF?

Converting M2V to CAF extracts whatever audio data accompanies the video stream, producing a standalone audio file for any player.

What program opens CAF files?

QuickTime, Logic Pro, GarageBand, and Apple audio tools support Core Audio Format files.

What happens to my uploaded files?

Uploaded M2V files are deleted from our servers immediately after processing. Converted CAF files are auto-removed within 24 hours.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Upload multiple M2V files and extract CAF audio from each one in a single batch operation — fast and convenient.

Do I need to install anything?

Not at all. The converter runs in your web browser — no downloads, plugins, or desktop applications are required for the conversion.
