HEVC to AIFF conversion is the process of extracting and re-encoding the audio track from a video encoded with HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding, H.265) into the AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) container, producing an uncompressed or losslessly-stored audio file. This conversion separates video and audio streams and converts audio to a standard PCM-based AIFF file suitable for editing, archiving, or high-quality playback.
