Quality & Fidelity
Convert RA to MP3 immediately for preservation For the best results, start with the highest quality MPEG-2 Video source file available. RealAudio is known for pioneered audio streaming over dial-up internet. This means your converted output will benefit from RealAudio's core strengths. Meanwhile, the original MPEG-2 Video's advantage of standard DVD and broadcast video codec may not fully carry over, depending on RealAudio's capabilities. Artifacts — unwanted visual or auditory imperfections — are minimized through Xonvert's tuned encoding parameters. For RealAudio, the default quality settings sit well above the threshold where artifacts become noticeable.
Extracting audio from MPEG-2 Video video to RealAudio format strips the video track and saves only the audio content. This is perfect for extracting music from music videos, saving podcast audio from video recordings, or creating audio-only versions of lectures and presentations. The audio quality depends on the original video's audio track bitrate and codec.
The M2V to RA conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. No audio — must be muxed with audio for complete playback
