Note:
|
|
The first codec I'm going to talk about this WAV. Now, WAV isn't actually an audio codec.
|
|
WAV is actually just an audio container for raw audio, which I'll talk more about later.
|
|
|
|
WAV was originally developed by IBM and Microsoft in 1991. It used to be a patented audio format
|
|
but the patent has since long expired.
|
|
|
|
Fun Fact: WAV is not just restricted to raw audio. It can represent many analog signals, up to 2.1GHz.
|
|
|
|
WAV is also extremely easy to parse since it's basically just raw audio.
