Converting Broadcast WAV Files

[Steve2526]

I am considering purchasing a portable digital recorder that would be recording play-by-play in broadcast WAV file.

 

Will WavePad convert a BWF file to mp3? I don't see it listed in the file types in the options menu. Will it recognize the file as a WAV?

What exactly do you mean by a "broadcast WAV file"?

 

A .wav file is a .wav file is a .wav file is a .wav file..... :-)

 

That is, any file which has the extension .wav can be converted to an mp3 file by any number of programs, including NCH's Switch or NCH's WavePad, as another example, etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum.

 

There is _no such file as a BWF file_. So you can safely forget about something that does not exist!

 

In other words, what is your problem here?

From the Zoom info:

 

Time Stamp and Track Marker functions in Broadcast WAV Format (BWF)

 

Further checking tells me that the recording will be saved as a .wav file.

 

Thanks for the reply, as sarcastic as it was!
