Quality & Fidelity
Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. MXF Video may clip extreme values. WMA Audio optimizes for typical display capabilities. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the WMA Audio format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in WMA Audio are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality MXF Video input produces an excellent WMA Audio output. Xonvert defaults to high quality settings that keep file size reasonable without compromising perceivable quality.
