Wave 64 Files

Wave 64 is a proprietary format developed by Sonic Foundry Inc. Wave 64 files have the extension .w64.



Note

In terms of audio quality, Wave 64 files are identical to standard Wave files, but in the file headers Wave 64 files use 64-bit values for addressing where Wave files use 32-bit values. The consequence of this is that Wave 64 files can be considerably larger than standard Wave files. Wave 64 is therefore a good file format choice for long recordings, for example, if the file sizes exceeds 2 GB.
