Convert CAF to MP4

Understanding CAF and MP4 file formats

The CAF (Core Audio Format) is a digital audio format developed by Apple. It is designed to overcome limitations of older audio file formats, supporting a wide range of audio data and metadata. CAF files are commonly used in professional audio environments due to their ability to store large audio files without size limitations.

On the other hand, MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a digital multimedia container format most commonly used to store video and audio. It is a versatile format that supports a variety of multimedia content, including video, audio, subtitles, and images. MP4 is widely used for streaming and sharing video content due to its high compression efficiency and compatibility with various devices and platforms.
