Just saw the video; I didn't konw you looked at video codecs and files alreday. I must have missed that video since it was mixed in with over 100 more not let wathced videos. The Blu-ray video on DVD-R thing I give is do that iade of codecs not always fiting the file types. Hif is like jpeg but holds more photo data. Dot CDA is just what computers show ecah track on an Audio CD since Audio CDs have no ture file system. CD-Rs have an file system used by the burner to keep track of where the data goes on the disk. This is how the Sony Palystation konws an boot laged game is trying to ran. Since the CD-R disk is missing the codec that the Palystation looks for.

I am using FL STUDIO and PC 192KHz for my Music Studio, Layer 6 Audio presentation layer. Also this Linux RHEL 192KHz Audio, Thank you so much.

Yuo may what to do one of video formats since riping an Blu-ray Video disk with Make MKV is alot like riping an Audio CD with an app like ITunes. Also trying to paly an AVI file coded in Divx using an tool that dosen't understand Divx has no iead on what to do. It's kind of like burning an DVD-R in format used on Blu-ray Video disks. Only an Blu-ray player cound read that disk eventhough it's an DVD.
@allhailalona Says:
excellent vidoe! thank you!
I must say I was under the impression that .opus was the best of the best... But I think I'll simply use mp3 from now on...
@devarionarias Says:
This video is a great explanation of how all these file formats work and what they are. I've been working with many of them for years and still learned a couple of new things. Thanks, Chris!
@TrizziEhgan Says:
Most streaming/delivery: MP3 & AAC
Apple Music, Deezer & Qobuz: Huh?
@rfvtgbzhn Says:
5:21 that sounds like it was originally created for OS/2.
@rfvtgbzhn Says:
Bit depths above 16 bits are just a waste of space for a finished audio file. 65,536 levels is already way more than what the human ear can distinguish.
@rfvtgbzhn Says:
When I got my 1st computer, everything was just wav. Simple times.
@robumf Says:
What most people don't consider is the quality of the speakers that is being use
If you using pore speakers like what was being used on transistor radios and many cheap electronics. Surprisingly you can get by at 32 kbs.
After realize the simplest DVD has register and you can apply math, including a random generator
As an experience I place 25 hours of music on a 8mb DVD brought the video to 1mbs except for menus for video and using MPEG-2 48kh.
@thomasbates110 Says:
While the content is obviously a grown up level of complexity, these videos give me a strong vibe of sitting cross legged on a primary school carpet watching a video tape on a crt tv on a trolley. It feels nostalgic and I love it
@Jonius Says:
Also didn't cover CBR and VBR for bitrate, but I guess that's not a file format thing
@Lothyde Says:
Mp3 shouldn't be alive today, it's obsolete. The quality of mp3 at 320kbps is comparable to Opus at 160kbps.
@Souls4Roca Says:
Chris... serious question, did you stop aging like 10 years ago?
@themrflibbleuk Says:
Good info. However I’ve been triggered by Kbps, what’s Kelvin (temperature) got to do with anything?

my dude got 1M views? last time i watched u were 2k and never thought u would grow honestly. keep up. love the nerdy vibes
@asificam1 Says:
I like FLACs so that I can recreate my CDs if needed, this is handy so I can compress them into any lossy format that may come or be needed for any device with only 1 generation of loss rather than say going from an MP3 to an OGG Vorbiz or OPUS and getting more losses.
@crylune Says:
The difference between something like MP3 and FLAC is very audible... on good equipment. If your headphones have the tonal balance of a drunkard and are as resolving as dumping your head into water, of course you won't hear any difference. Hell, you don't need to spend thousands on audiophile gear to hear it. A $300 Sundara or Sennheiser HD 600 is enough to open your eyes and ears.
@crylune Says:
FLAC & WAV my beloved.
@morejelloplease Says:
Youtube audio is pretty good, when you goto the artist "topic" page, they are usually wav files straight from the artist/record label. HOWEVER, when compared to a CD, the CD wins hands down, every time.
@omnicolor573 Says:
Neat
@raphaelvilleneuve9162 Says:
Wonderfully instructive video!
@ultralaggerREV1 Says:
Hear me out. Whether it’s .wav or .mp3 or whatever, I can’t even tell the difference with quality, the audio sounds the same
@theonewhostonks Says:
thanks! learned a lot
@pepe6666 Says:
thats a great overview. very well put together and very clear. cleared the fog quite a bit.
thanks for putting MQA as proprietary and lossy. its turned out to be a scam. it uses the least significant bits to encode FFT of high frequencies. thats its thing. but its got distortion and its 'authenticated' light doesnt do anything & neither does its quality assurance stuff.
also the mp3 thing we can tell the difference even if we're old, because mp3 encodes a primitive representation of the frequencies, not just shave off the high frequencies. when ya know what to look for ya can hear it cos it still distorts the low frequencies.
@imoutodaisuki Says:
MP3 can die. I've done testing myself and OPUS is hands down one of the best lossy compression available. Smaller file size, and crazy good transparency. You need to use extremely low bitrate to make it sounds trash. Much much lower than the MP3.
@MrSparkefrostie Says:
Only thing i would like to add was variable data rates (i only remember this on mp3) and was usually to my ear better than the full 320 as it would not introduce a static sound during quiter parts of a song
@SakuraHougetsu28 Says:
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, I recently started my journey as an anime video encoder but wasn't really sure which audio codec to use, you helped me to clear my questions
@markridlen4380 Says:
I highly recommend a video called "Digital Audio Show and Tell" by Monty Montgomery. I think everyone should watch it. I watch it about once per year to refresh my knowledge.
@JimJWalker Says:
I believe it was around 2012 that I officially left 44.1K and moved to 48K in music production (24bit of course). Disk space being a non-factor, and the death of CDs being the big reasons. Plus, music usually ends up to video at some point. 44.1K just doesn't make sense in 2024.

Thanks for the amazing video and explanation ❤
@belphegor_dev Says:
There are zero reasons to not use lossless these days. Storage is cheap and so is fast Internet.
@mavromatis Says:
I think WavPack was from 1988 and not 1988. That would be way too early for such kind of release :D
@SASTSimon Says:
I use aac for music i download and flac for music i make
@Lukilliano Says:
I'd be interrested in a algorithm comparison of a few of these, you could do that with explanations, compress-decompress and then compare the waveform or possibly even analysis of the raw data of the compressed files and seeing what edits do to a decompressed sound
@superkaboose1066 Says:
Very well said, thanks
@Nitsu29 Says:
Opus my beloved
@teamredstudio7012 Says:
FLAC is one of my favourites. I have my favourite music in FLAC format just to hear it in highest quality. Often you can however find the same song in differently compressed FLAC files too, like some a slightly different bitrate even though they are the same song in FLAC.
@lolbots Says:
the intro/outro music quality is inversely proportional to the IQ of the channel owner - true or false?
@letronix6243 Says:
opus
@_Lassic_ Says:
Personally, I buy CDs and rip them into Flac files. I love how your videos look and sound like the 90s. I was born in 2003, so its an experience I never had. Subscribed.
@chonkychonk Says:
I love learning. Thank you, Christopher!
@Mr.SharkTooth-zc8rm Says:
25 (and counting) thumbs down? WTF is that all about? Some people ain't happy unless they are unhappy...
@emiel333 Says:
Wow, such a great and accurate video about audio formats! I’m a music producer and I use WAV for production. Most of the time I record in either 24 or 32-bit at 44.1 and 48kHz (sometimes higher if needed). Printing a mix is done in WAV 32-bit (takes up a lot of storage, though), only most of the time, 16-bit is enough and yes, I use dithering when printing a 32-bit project to 16-bit. I’ve subscribed to your channel.
@jm27232 Says:
Opus can be stored in OGG and MKA as well.
@nightlust Says:
As a musician almost exclusively using a computer to make my music, this is a great complement for my knowledge, thanks!

This guy has a very predictable and therefore soothing cadence. It works well for sleeping.
His talking gets slower and deeper towards the end of every sentence.
