Convert DVR to WAV

Understanding DVR and WAV file formats

The DVR file format is commonly associated with digital video recordings, often used in surveillance systems and digital video recorders. These files typically contain video data, but in some cases, they may also include audio tracks. On the other hand, the WAV file format, short for Waveform Audio File Format, is a standard for storing audio on PCs. It is widely used for its high quality and uncompressed audio data, making it a popular choice for audio editing and playback.
