CAVS to AIFF conversion is the process of transforming audio streams or audio-containing tracks encoded in the CAVS (China Audio/Video Standard) format into the AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) container, producing uncompressed, edit-friendly audio files. This conversion extracts and decodes CAVS-encoded audio data, optionally resamples or re-encodes it, and packages it as AIFF for compatibility with professional audio software and hardware.

CAVS is a specialized audio file format often limited to certain platforms, while AIFF is a widely accepted uncompressed audio format known for its high fidelity. Unlike CAVS, AIFF files are compatible across multiple devices and audio software, making them ideal for editing and playback. Therefore, converting CAVS to AIFF improves accessibility and audio quality control.
Keep source CAVS files under 250MB for faster web conversions; for large projects, split long recordings into smaller segments before converting.
To preserve maximum fidelity, decode CAVS to uncompressed PCM and export to AIFF at the original sample rate and bit depth (avoid unnecessary resampling or bit-depth reduction).
For batch conversion, use desktop tools or a command-line workflow that supports CAVS decoding to automate consistent AIFF settings across multiple files.
Be aware that some CAVS variants may contain metadata or codec features not preserved in AIFF—check track-level metadata separately.
