"Does anyone know how to convert a .wav audio file to a .mp4 audio file? And if possible, to compress the .mp4? I've been told that a .mp4 will play on any format. Is this true?"

Have you ever tried to convert a WAV file to MP4 files? If so, you will also be in such a puzzle. WAV is a kind of audio file used for storing sound tracks with lossless quality. It is created and developed by IBM and Microsoft. In most case WAV files are used on Windows platform. It is often being supported by Windows Media Players and other programs. However, as we know that MP4 is a kind of multimedia format. It is a container that can store various data including video, audio and subtitle, etc. It is the most popular container type for sharing media on almost all devices. So it is common to see that lots of people want to convert other video or audio formats to MP4. Hence, I would like to share two solutions with you about how to convert WAV to MP4 effectively.

Solution 2. Convert wav to mp4 with professional WAV to MP4 Converter (Leawo Video Converter)

It seems that online free video converter is convenient to use. However, it still has some disadvantages. For example, the online video converter requires video file uploading and downloading. The uploading might expose user's privacy if the video content is personal, and the downloading requires extra time which will in turn extend the conversion time. Therefore, more and more people prefer to choose third-party software, which is much more convenient as it does not require internet access, which means video conversion process can be processed offline. Since there are so many third-party converter programs, here I recommend Leawo Video Converter. Leawo Vide Converter is a professional WAV to MP4 Converter which are not only able to convert WAV to MP4 without quality loss, but it can convert video and audio between more than 180 formats including MP4, MOV, MPEG4, AVI, FLV, MP3, AAC, AC3, WAV, etc. Besides, the easy-to-use interface is user-friendly even for those software green hands.
