- 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.
- A VOB file is a movie data file from a DVD disc, typically stored in the VIDEO_TS folder at the root of the DVD. It contains a majority of the data stored on the disc which includes video, audio, subtitles, DVD menus and other navigation contents. VOB files are usually formatted as MPEG-2 system streams and can be opened by various video playback programs.
