Will You Lose Quality Converting AU to YUV?
Originally for Sun Microsystems workstations Raw pixel data in YUV color space (Y=luma, UV=chroma) These technical characteristics influence how quality is preserved during conversion. For audio-to-video conversions, Xonvert applies format-aware algorithms that respect the unique characteristics of both AU Audio and YUV Raw Video. Cross-category conversions require additional adaptation, which Xonvert handles automatically. Sample rate and bit depth are preserved during conversion. If the target format has limitations, Xonvert downsamples using high-quality dithering algorithms.
Converting AU Audio audio to YUV Raw Video video creates a video file with a static visual (typically a black frame or waveform visualization) and your audio track. This is commonly used for uploading music to video-only platforms like YouTube, creating visualizer content, or embedding audio in video projects.
The AU to YUV conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. Supports mu-law, A-law and linear PCM encoding

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my AU file be deleted after conversion?▼
No. Your original AU file is never modified or deleted. Xonvert creates a separate YUV copy — your source file remains untouched.
What audio quality settings should I use?▼
For music, use 256 kbps or higher. For voice/podcast, 128 kbps is sufficient. Lossless output preserves everything.
Does this work on my phone or tablet?▼
Yes. Xonvert works on any device with a modern browser — iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets all supported.
Can I undo a conversion?▼
Since your original AU file is never modified, there's nothing to undo. Your source file remains exactly as it was — only a new YUV copy is created.
What if my AU file won't convert?▼
Ensure the file isn't corrupted or DRM-protected. Try a different file to verify. If issues persist, the file may use an unsupported codec variant.
How many times can I convert AU to YUV per day?▼
There's no daily limit for free users. Convert as many files as you need, as often as you need. PRO users get additional batch processing features.
Can I use this converter for commercial purposes?▼
