Understanding 3GA and WMV file formats

The 3GA file format is an audio file format associated with the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project). It is primarily used for audio data in mobile devices and is a simplified version of the 3GP format, which is used for both audio and video. 3GA files typically contain audio streams encoded in AMR, AAC, or other audio codecs.

The WMV (Windows Media Video) file format is a video compression format developed by Microsoft. It is part of the Windows Media framework and is commonly used for streaming and downloading video content on the internet. WMV files are known for their high compression rates, which allow for smaller file sizes while maintaining good video quality.
