3GPP2 (An extended form of MPEG-4 Part 12) |

Overview |
The 3G2 format is an upgraded version of .3GP file and it functions to save both audio and video files in 3G phones which are based on CDMA (Code Division multiple access). By using this format, we can transfer files over the internet and can store videos on mobile phones. It consumes less storage space when compared to the 3GP file. Therefore, it helps to save the disk space. Also, this format is very good for mobile streaming and downloading as it supports bandwidth, which is easily compatible with 3G cell phones. Moreover, this is both ISO Base media file format MPEG-4 Part 12 and MP4 file format MPEG-4 Part 14. We can use various software to open these files. For example, Apple’s free QuickTime, VLC Media player; etc. |
Technical description |
It is a parallel format of MPEG-4 Part 14 or MP4 but a simplified version, not the complex one. This is the perfect format for 3G cell phones to store videos as low bandwidth is required and besides this, it takes less space to store videos. 3GPP2 can store similar video and audio streams as of 3GP and some additional streams as well. For instance- AMR-NB, AMR-WB, AMR-WB+, AAC-LC, HE-AAC v1, and HE-AAC v2. In addition to these aforesaid streams, EVR-C, EVRC-B, EVRC-WB, VMR-WB are other extra streams used in this format. MPEG-4 media is stored in 3G2 format using MP4 and AVC file format specifications. |

Stands for |
Free Lossless Audio Codec |
Developer |
Xiph.org |
Overview |
It is an audio format which uses a lossless compression technique to compress the original data, without any loss of information. The additional benefit of this format is it maintains a very good quality of Audio. These files are encoded using FLAC algorithm that reduces the size of the primary file ranging from 50 to 80 per cent as the size varies according to the amount and density of the data. Therefore, this codec helps in the production of exact replicas of original data but in reduced size. It also supports a number of electronic devices. For instance- Portable players, car stereos etc. As well as it is streamable which allows users to jump to the middle of a stream with minimum delay. |
Technical description |
FLAC can deal with any channels from 1 to 8. It also supports PCM bit resolution up to 32 bits per sample and any sampling rate up to 655,350Hz in a single Hertz increment. REPLAYGAIN is an added feature in it which helps to measure and normalize the loudness of received audio. Moreover, it can deflate audio at very high speed which makes it to stand out from the other formats. Also, it is an open-source software which means original source code is freely available and it may be modified as per user’s requirements. Lastly, it has flexibility in metadata that allows one to write its own application when it is registered ID. Its metadata includes tags, cover art, seek tables and cue sheets. |
