Converting MKV to WAV: what to know
MKV is the container of movies, TV series and concert recordings. Converting it to WAV extracts the soundtrack for editing, mixing or transcription in programs that accept only uncompressed audio.
Only the audio is kept and the video is dropped. WAV stores sound uncompressed, so the file is large: a minute of stereo takes about 10 MB. You can save just a fragment by setting the start and end on the timeline, and set the channels and sample rate in the settings.
