Settings

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.

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 MPG to W64?

W64 (Wave64) breaks the 4 GB size limit of standard WAV files. It is essential for very long or multi-channel uncompressed audio recordings.

What software supports W64?

Sony Sound Forge, Adobe Audition, Audacity, and most professional DAWs read and write W64 files natively.

Is W64 lossless?

Yes — W64 stores uncompressed PCM audio, identical in quality to WAV but without the 4 GB file size restriction.

How large are W64 files?

W64 files are the same size as equivalent WAV recordings. The format just removes the size ceiling for very long recordings.

Can I batch extract?

Upload multiple MPG files and extract W64 audio from each simultaneously — ideal for processing long-form video content.
