Media Software Program Function Media Player Extensions Explained WAVE Audio File Standard digital audio file format for storing waveform data; allows audio recordings to be saved with different sampling rates and bitrates; often used to save CD-quality audio. WAV (WAVE) files are similar to .AIF files, but they use a more complex format and are more common on Windows-based systems. Windows Media Audio File Audio file compressed with Windows Media compression; proprietary format developed by Microsoft, similar to the .MP3 format; can be converted to other more standardized formats; often used for playing music from the Web; Windows Media video files use a .WMV extension. Advanced Audio Coding File Compressed audio file similar to a .MP3 file, but offers several performance improvements; examples include a higher coding efficiency for both stationary and transient signals, a simpler filterbank, and better handling of frequencies above 16 kHz; maintains quality nearly indistinguishable from the original audio source. AAC is the default encoding used by Apple iTunes software. MP3 Audio File Compressed audio format developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group; uses “Layer 3” audio compression; commonly used to store music files and audiobooks on a hard drive; may provide near-CD quality sound (stereo, 16-bit) in a file roughly 1/10 the size of a .WAV or .AIF file. The quality of an MP3 file depends largely on the bit rate used for compression; common bit rates are 128, 160, 192, and 256 kbps; higher bit rates result in higher quality files that also require more disk space. MP3 files are supported by most portable music players, such as the Apple iPod and Microsoft Zune; they can also be played on the Amazon Kindle; Symbian OS mobile phones can play MP3 files using the UltraMP3 program. DVD Video Object File Movie data file from a DVD disc, typically stored in the VIDEO_TS folder; contains the majority of data stored on the disc including video, audio, and subtitles; usually formatted as an MPEG2 system stream and can be opened by various video playback programs. Moving Picture Experts Group MPEG-2 is widely used as the format of digital television signals that are broadcast by terrestrial (over-the-air), cable, and direct broadcast satellite TV systems. It also specifies the format of movies and other programs that are distributed on DVD and similar discs. As such, TV stations, TV receivers, DVD players, and other equipment are often designed to this standard. MPEG-2 was the second of several standards developed by the Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG) and is an international standard (ISO/IEC 13818) Movie or video clip that uses MPEG-4 compression, a standard developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG); commonly used for sharing video files on the Internet. The MPEG-4 video format uses separate compression for audio and video tracks; video is compressed with MPEG-4 video encoding; audio is compressed using AAC compression, the same type of audio compression used in .AAC files. The most popular use of .mp4 files is sharing video files over the Internet. The compressed small size of .mp4 files allows them to use less space and download quickly. Audio Video Interleave File Video container or wrapper format created by Microsoft; stores video data that may be encoded in a variety of codecs; typically uses less compression than similar formats such as .MPEG and .MOV. Extension .wav .wma .aac .mp3 .vob .mpeg-2 .mpeg-4 (.mp4 / .mpg4) .avi AVI files can be played by various video players, but the player must support the codec used to encode the video data. Flash Video File Flash-compatible video file exported by the Flash Video Exporter plug-in (included with Adobe Flash) or other program with FLV file support; consists of a short header, interleaved audio, video, and metadata packets; audio and video data is stored in a similar format used by standard Flash (.SWF) files. The FLV format is an open format that is also supported by non-Adobe/Macromedia programs; FLV files may be exported from QuickTime Pro or other applications that can export to the QuickTime file format. Program Windows Media Player iTunes RealPlayer SP Quick Time player VideoLAN VLC media DivX Adobe Flash & Flash Player Function Media Players Playing audio, video and viewing images, running the Windows operating system. Used for playing and organizing digital music and video files. The program is also an interface to manage the contents on Apple's popular iPod and other digital media players such as the iPhone and iPad. RealPlayer for personal use includes audio CD burning capabilities, DVR-style playback buffering, multimedia search, Internet radio, a jukebox-style file library, an embedded web browser (using Microsoft Internet Explorer), and the ability to transfer media to a number of portable devices, including Apple's iPod, MP3 players, and Windows Media devices. Capable of handling various formats of digital video, media clips, sound, text, animation, music, and interactive panoramic images. A highly portable multimedia player and multimedia framework capable of reading most audio and video formats it also plays DVDs, Audio CDs VCDs, and various streaming protocols.Free and open source. A free download for high-quality digital videos on your computer A multimedia platform that is popular for adding animation and interactivity to web pages. Flash is commonly used to create animation, advertisements, and various web page Flash components, to integrate video into web pages, and more recently, to develop rich Internet applications. Flash can manipulate vector and raster graphics, and supports bidirectional streaming of audio and video. It contains a scripting language called ActionScript. Several software products, systems, and devices are able to create or display Flash content, including Adobe Flash Player, which is available free for most common web browsers, some mobile phones and for other electronic devices. .flv Extension Audio (.wav / .wma / .aac / .aif) Video (.avi / .wmv) Audio (.mp3 / .aif / .wav / .mpeg-4 / .aac) Video (.mp4 / .mov / .m4v / .mpg) Audio (.ra / .ram / .mp3 / .mp2 / .wav / .cda / ) Video (.swf / .vob / .mpeg 1 & 2 / .wmv / .avi / .flv / .qt / .mov) Streaming: (rtsp://), (pna://, pnm://), (mms://), (*.sdp), (*.smil, *.smi) Audio (.aiff / .caf / .midi / .m4p / .wav) Video (.mov / .qt / .avi / .gif / .mpeg 1,2 & 4 / Audio (.mp3 / .wma / .aac / .ac3 / .ogg) Video (.vob / .flv / .mpeg-2 & 4 / .divX / mp3 / .ogg / .aac) Video (.mp4 / .mkv / .divx / .avi / .mov) .swf / .flv / .fla / .as Program Windows Movie Maker Windows Live Movie Maker Adobe Premiere Pro Final Cut Express Function Video Editing Programs Contains the movie timeline, transitions, and references to video clips, audio files, and still images used by the movie. Once the movie is finished, it can be exported in a standard video format or burned to a DVD. Versions 1.1 to 2.5. Windows MM is not continued in Windows Vista or Windows 7. Windows Live Movie Maker is a complete rewrite of the Windows Movie Maker application, focusing on the needs of Windows Live Photo Gallery users; as such, it requires Windows Live Photo Gallery (Wave 3) to be installed. The program includes a redesigned ribbon interface. Windows Live Movie Maker allows users to publish videos to YouTube, as well as make an HD video. It has received much criticism, however, over its removal of most of the features of the older versions, particularly the timeline. The software is less capable than previous versions of producing videos with any degree of advanced editing, and may only be appropriate for basic video creation.

Using MIDI, a musician can easily create and edit digital music tracks. The MIDI system records the notes played, the length of the notes, the dynamics (volume alterations), the tempo, the instrument being played, and hundreds of other parameters, called control changes. Because MIDI records each note digitally, editing a track of MIDI music is much easier and more accurate than editing a track of audio. The musician can change the notes, dynamics, tempo, and even the instrument being played with the click of button. Also, MIDI files are basically text documents, so they take up very little disk space. The only catch is that you need MIDI-compatible hardware or software to record and playback MIDI files. It is not an audio file format like WAV that stores the full sound of the notes actually being played.
