![]() ![]() Wave files always have the same bitrate, according to the bit depth, sample rate and number of channels. MeGUI's HD Streams Extractor is a GUI for eac3to, so you're still using eac3to if you use it. Ultimately, both the wav and flac files sound good, and they can be imported into my vegas project, so I'm happy, but my interest in using the highest quality audio possible makes me wonder. Seems like both conversions should have had the same kbps as the source ac3 file. When I converted the same file to flac, it was 1321 kbps. ![]() Now, in theory wav and flac should be uncompressed formats, so is there really any difference? It's weird because, for example, I converted a stereo ac3 file that was 384kbps to wav, and the resulting wav file was 2304 kbps. The resulting wav file is much larger than the flac file, and mediainfo shows a higher kbps, however I'm not sure I'm gaining much by converting to wav. If one wanted to convert an ac3 or dts file to a format that can be imorted into a DAW or NLE, with no quality loss, would you advise converting to wav or flac? I've been using eac3to to convert these kinds of files to flac, so I could bring them into Vegas, until I noticed MeGUI's HD streams extractor tool lets you convert ac3 and dts files to wav.
