What is
HDTV?
High definition TV are usually streamed in MPEG-2
transport stream (.ts) or program stream (.ps).
To convert from High-def video files, you will need to install both CCCP,
GPL MPEG-2 Decoder,
and AC-3 Decoder
Filter.
What is
AIF?
Short for Audio
Interchange File Format, a common format for storing and transmitting sampled
sound. The format was developed by Apple Computer and is the standard audio
format for Macintosh computers. It is
also used by Silicon Graphics Incorporated
(SGI).
The AIFF format is uncompressed so AIFF files tend to be large. However,
there is another format called AIFF-Compressed (AIFF-C or AIFC) that supports
compression ratios as high as 6:1.
AIFF files generally end with an .AIF or .IEF extension.
AIFC files generally end with an .AIFC extension.
AIFF and AIFC are standard audio format used on MacOS systems. AIFF is not
compressed. AIFC is compressed.
To encode AIF audio, please make sure Apple QuickTime is
installed.

Select output format
Use the setting panel on the bottom of the window to control the output format. Click on the toggle to the left of the "Format" label to expand the panel. Select "AIF - Audio Interchanged File Format" as the "Audio Type".
Troubleshoot
If you don't see the AIF output option, you have a problem with your QuickTime installation.
You need to have the latest QuickTime installed. Occasionally, QuickTime may be corrupted. In any case, reinstall QuickTime should fix this problem.
You can change the compressor, and depending on the compressor, you can change the sample rate, channel (stereo or mono), bits/sample, and bitrate.
When "16 bit LPCM" or "16 bit PCM" is selected as the "Compressor", the file is uncompressed, and satisfy the original AIFF specification. When other compressors are used, the file is compressed and is considered to be an AIFC file.
Select output directory
Expand the "Output Directory" panel. Use the "Browse" button to select an output directory.
