video format for best audio quality

M.adaM 9:17 PM - 16 June, 2024
Hi...

I have a big bunch of wav / Flac files.
Some of these music use to have video clips. ('90's and 2000's underground stuff)

I wonder what would be the best file format for exporting the final stuff if I get the videos from YT or whatever free space and merge them with my already owned music files...

I'm not a fan of pools or whatnot subscriptions... especially 'couse I have these music in the highest possible quality... and most of them available in HD on any free place... (with not so decent audio of course... but I could handle that.)

What audio file format can keep the wav quality of the audio channels?

mp4 works - do some testing but whatever audio format serato will play back, you can roll into a container and use it. you can tell it what type of audio and the quality level you want when exporting in most apps.

THX.

So I guess only the WAV output will work and other lossless audio format is most likely not supported for any of the modern video files... since they are focusing on video (compression) and not for the highest quality audio (lossless compression.... like FLAC support for example)

asking all these since I have about zero time to any research in this topic... (and would be nice to compress the audio without any loss.... while keeping high grade video... but a manageable file-size)

quicktime pro-res proxy, has reasonable file size and lossless audio.
