SVCD to M4A: Extract Audio from SVCD(Super VCD) Video to M4A(MPEG-4 Audio) with River Past Audio Converter, SVCD2M4A converter, conversion

What is SVCD?

Super VCD (VCD 3.0) uses MPEG-2 for video compression. Generally, it uses two standard CD for a full feature length movie.

To convert from SVCD video to other formats, please have GPL MPEG-2 Decoder installed.

What is M4A?

Because of its exceptional performance and quality, Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is at the core of the MPEG-4, 3GPP and 3GPP2 specifications and is the audio codec of choice for Internet, wireless and digital broadcast arenas. AAC provides audio encoding that compresses much more efficiently than older formats, such as MP3, yet delivers quality rivaling that of uncompressed CD audio.

To encode MPEG-4 audio, you need to have River Past MPEG-4 Booster Pack in addition to your audio software.
