- Description
- The IFF (Interchange File Format) is a file format originally developed by Electronic Arts and Commodore-Amiga in the 1980s. It was designed to facilitate the sharing and storage of multimedia data, such as images, audio, and video, between different software applications and systems. The format is chunk-based, allowing it to encapsulate various types of data within a single file by organizing them into self-contained blocks. While it was most prominently used on Amiga computers, the IFF format has influenced the development of subsequent file formats, including the widely used AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) for audio files.
- A WAV file is an audio file that uses a standard digital audio file format utilized for storing waveform data. It allows audio recordings to be saved with different sampling rates and bitrates and is often saved in a 44.1 KHz, 16-bit, stereo format, which is the standard format used for CD audio.
