    About HEVC and ALAC

    HEVC: HEVC (H.265) halves file size compared to H.264 and is used by modern iPhones and 4K cameras, but many PCs, browsers and older phones cannot play it.

    ALAC: ALAC is Apple's lossless format. It compresses audio to roughly half the size of WAV with zero quality loss and plays natively in Apple Music, iTunes and on every iPhone. It is saved with the .m4a extension.
