How to convert 64-bit WAV (RF64) and BWF [Mac Windows]

WAV 64-bit (or RF64) is an extended WAV format for supporting audio files with a size of over 4 GBytes.  It's actually for super high resolutions 352, 384 kHz and higher. The RF64-audio file has either *.wav or *.rf64 extension.
RF64 does not mean 64-bit bit depth. RF64 defines file size. Big WAV files with 64-bit bit depth may be stored in either RF64 or ordinary WAV format.

How RF64 works

Audio converter AuI ConverteR 48x44 support WAV 64-bit according to RF64 specification.

  1. Output (converted) WAV file is created
    In its header, a dummy block ("JUNK" chunk by WAV specification) is added. It's fully compatible with an ordinaty WAV. Most players must ignore the block.
     
  2. After conversion starts, audio data are written to the WAV file.
     
  3. After the end of conversion and writing, the converter checks the real size of the output file.

RF64 settings

  1. If in AuI converteR's Settings > Metadata  > "Force 32-bit wav" switch is checked, block JUNK is not created and the next steps don't work.
    It's needed for compatibility with some players and software.
     
  2. For some pro audio applications, it needs to reserve a space for RF64 markers (time points of audio data). AuI ConverteR reserves the space in begin of this file for these markers.
    Audio players usually don't use markers. To avoid the marker place reserving, in Settings > Metadata > uncheck "No markers RF64" switch.
