Boilsoft OFR to WAV Converter tutorial

Glossary:

OptimFROG(OFR) is a free lossless audio codec, known by its very high compression ratios. OptimFROG is developed by Florin Ghido. OptimFROG usually obtains the best lossless audio compression ratios on comparisons against other lossless encoders (practically a tie with the current champion LA). It has Windows and Linux versions, fully-featured input plug-ins for the foobar2000, Winamp2, Winamp3, dBpowerAMP, XMPlay and XMMS audio players (with bitstream error resilience, ID3v1.1 and APEv2 read tagging support), optimal support for all integer PCM WAV formats up to 32 bits and an extensible streamable (error tolerant) compressed format.

WAVE or WAV , short for Waveform Audio File Format,(also, but rarely, named, Audio for Windows) is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing an audio bitstream on PCs. It is an application of the RIFF bitstream format method for storing data in “chunks”, and thus is also close to the 8SVX and the AIFF format used on Amiga and Macintosh computers, respectively. It is the main format used on Windows systems for raw and typically uncompressed audio. The usual bitstream encoding is the Linear Pulse Code Modulation (LPCM) format.
