Conversion Quality Deep Dive
Commonly produced by Sony, Canon and Panasonic camcorders When this data is re-encoded into AIF Audio, Raw PCM audio in big-endian byte order Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity. Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Xonvert maintains data integrity across the format boundary. The output closely matches your original. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. AIF Audio preserves all data losslessly, so output size depends on the content's inherent compressibility.
