- Description
- The MPA file format, standing for MPEG-2 Audio File, is designed to store audio data compressed using the MPEG-2 Audio coding standard. This format is a successor to the MPEG-1 standard, offering enhancements like improved audio quality and support for multiple audio channels, thus enabling surround sound experiences. MPA files are commonly used for both music and video soundtracks due to their efficient compression, which preserves sound quality while reducing file size significantly.
- High-definition video recording format used by many HD camcorders; commonly referred to as "HDV;" uses MPEG-2 compression to store HD video data on DV or MiniDV tapes; supports resolutions of 720p and 1080i.
