I have been confused by this term. It was my understanding that what is described here is cascading, and I've been under the impression that the term transcoding was different. Apparently I am incorrect?

Merge with transcode

Both articles are largely identical in purpose. Transcode also contains information regarding the video software, however according to the MOS verb article titles should preferably take the gerund form. It doesn't ultimately matter to me which article title is used ("transcode" vs "transcoding"), provided that there is one definitive article.

MP3 to WAV

Can I encode an MP3 back to WAV and then burn it as an audio cd and play that WAV in my car? I have an old CD player which doesnt recognize the mp3 format. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.18.180.161 (talk • contribs) .

WAV is a lossless format so there would be no loss in quality going from MP3 -> WAV. Transcoding refers to going from one lossy format to another, such as MP3 -> AAC or MP3 -> Vorbis. --Bk0 (Talk) 12:59, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
