Convert AC3 to AAC

AC3, short for Audio Codec 3, is a file extension developed by Dolby Laboratories for digital audio compression. Primarily utilized in home theater systems, DVD, Blu-ray, and broadcasting, it delivers up to 5.1-channel surround sound. Introduced in the early 1990s, AC3 revolutionized audio experiences by providing high-quality sound with efficient data compression. This codec enhances user experiences with its immersive audio capabilities, making it a standard in the industry.

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is a digital audio file format designed to provide superior sound quality and compression efficiency compared to older formats like MP3. Developed in the late 1990s by a consortium of companies, including Fraunhofer IIS, Dolby, and Sony, AAC has become the standard audio format for various platforms, including Apple's iTunes and YouTube. It is widely used in streaming, broadcasting, and multimedia applications due to its ability to deliver high-fidelity audio at lower bit rates, making it ideal for bandwidth-constrained environments.
