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. |

Waveform Audio File Format |
Developer |

Overview |
WAV or WAVE is an audio format which was developed to store audio files on personal computers. These files include music, spoken or speech audios and sound effects. The size of the files in this codec is very large as it does not use a lossy format like MP3. This is the main reason why this format has lost its popularity. Due to its size, it is hard to transfer files over the internet which had resulted in less acceptance. This format is supported by many programs like a window Media player. Therefore, these audio files can be played using aforesaid software. One can not completely ignore this format as it provides high quality of audios. Due to this, it is used for radio broadcasting. |
Technical description |
This format supports metadata that is why we can add details using information chunk. Data in this codec is stored in chunks as it is an application of RIFF(Resource interchange file format). Furthermore, LPCM(Linear pulse code modulation) is the most common, uncompressed audio format in this, but it can also store compressed audio like MP3. Also, it is especially used by professionals as LPCM audio format offers a maximum quality. Only files up to 4 GB are supported by this format which is one of the limitations in this format. This is because of 32-bit unsigned integer which carries the file size header. To overcome this, W64 format came into existence which can record long audios as it enables 64-bit header. |
