RIFF or Broadcast

[Toki987]

in 300 layman's words or less, what is the difference between a RIFF .wav and a Broadcast .wav file in Sonar ?

RIFF is standard.......If the file is stored in Broadcast format the folowing info is stored with the file:
Description--A brief description of the contents of the Broadcast wave. Limited to 256 characters.
Originator--The author of the Broadcast wave. This information is taken from the Author field in the File Info dialog.
Originator Reference--A unique reference identifier created by SONAR.
Origination Date--The date the file was created.
Origination Time--The time the file was created.
Time Reference--The SMPTE time stamp for the beginning of broadcast wave.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I`m at work and that question had popped into my mind...

Thanks for asking this question.

I was just noodling around with it. I chose Broadcast wave, because it sounded familiar.

I don't need the xtra info. Next time I'll use RIFF
