What is a AIF file?
Audio Interchange File Format, known as AIF file, was developed by Apple in 1988. This type of file format is used to store standard CD audio with an uncompressed CD-quality audio similar to a WAV file. It contains two channels of uncompressed stereo audio with 16 bits sample size. AIF is a relatively large file and mostly used in Microsoft Windows. On the other hand, you can easily open every file in AIF format with Apple QuickTime Player, Apple iTunes, and Adobe Audition CS6 in Mac devices. There is one more thing you have to know about this type of file format. There is a possibility that some AIF files are data files rather than documents or media, which means that sometimes they aren't meant to be viewed at all.
What is a AC3 file?
A file with an AC3 extension uses lossy compression to reduce the overall size of a file. AC3 stands for Audio Codec 3 created by Dolby Laboratories. This type of file supports the surrounding sound. It has a separate track for each of six speakers of a surround sound setup. One speaker is dedicated to low-frequency subwoofer output, while others are dedicated to the normal range. It means that the AC3 format has a 5:1 surround sound setup. This type of file is mostly used for audio in movie theaters, video games, and DVDs.
