What changes when you convert DV to M4A
- Both formats are lossy. Re-encoding adds a second generation of loss, so keep quality high (80+) unless size matters more than fidelity.
- DV video animation cannot be expressed in M4A audio; the first frame is converted as a still image.
- The video’s audio track is extracted and re-encoded to M4A audio; video frames are discarded.
- M4A audio encoding exposes a quality control; around 80 is the usual sweet spot.
