Apple Video to CDDA conversion is the process of extracting and converting audio tracks from M4V (Apple Video) files into the CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) format used for standard audio CDs. This converts compressed or containered audio streams into 16-bit, 44.1 kHz stereo PCM suitable for burning to audio CDs or for applications that require CDDA-formatted tracks.
