WAV file format

Description

The THPConv tool can convert a general WAV file to THP audio data and interleave it with THP movie data. The following restrictions apply to WAV files that can be converted by the THPConv tool.

- They must be non-compressed 16-bit PCM data.
- Monaural (one channel) and stereo (two channels) are supported.

If the wav file does not meet these requirements, the THPConv tool will output an error and stop processing.

Notes for Using WAV Files

Note: Unlike the Nintendo GameCube, audio data is output at the set playback frequency (of 48,000 Hz or 32,000 Hz) on the Wii.

Note: WAV files having a playback frequency other than 48,000Hz or 32,000Hz can be specified in THPConv. When playing THP movie data created with such WAV files, use THPPlayerStrmAX.

Even if you created THP movie data specifying wav files with a playback frequency of 48,000Hz or 32,000Hz, if the playback frequency setting on the Wii is different, use THPPlayerStrmAX.

Note: If you want the THP movie data to contain more than one audio data set, make sure the channel counts and playback frequencies for all data sets are the same.
