Understanding AIFF and FLV file formats

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is an audio file format developed by Apple, commonly used for storing high-quality, uncompressed audio data. It is popular in professional audio and music production due to its lossless nature and compatibility with both Mac and Windows systems.

FLV (Flash Video) is a container file format used to deliver digital video content over the internet using Adobe Flash Player. FLV files can contain both video and audio streams, making them suitable for web streaming and multimedia presentations.
