Generation loss — quality may degrade
AMR uses lossy compression, and so does MKV. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible.
What compression artifacts to expect
MKV lossy compression can produce codec-dependent. At the high quality settings CocoConvert uses by default, these are usually invisible to the eye. Lower quality settings trade visual fidelity for smaller file sizes.
在处理音频和视频文件时，格式转换是常有的需求。AMR作为一种专为语音设计的音频格式，在移动设备和通话录音中非常普遍。然而，当您希望将这些珍贵的语音记录、会议内容或是其他AMR文件，与视频画面结合，制作成更具表现力的视频短片，或者仅仅是想在更广泛的播放设备上流畅观看时，AMR就显得力不从心了。此时，功能强大的MKV（Matroska Video）容器格式便成了理想选择。它不仅能容纳高质量的视频流，还能完美封装各种音频轨，包括您转换后的AMR内容。将AMR转换成MKV，意味着您的声音文件将拥有更广阔的舞台，无论是分享到社交平台，还是进行后期编辑，都将更加便捷高效。

Full Name: AMR uses Adaptive Multi-Rate Audio, while MKV uses Matroska Video. Compression: AMR uses Lossy, while MKV uses Lossy. Color Depth: AMR uses —, while MKV uses 8–10 bits (codec dependent).
Your AMR file is decoded and re-encoded as MKV. AMR uses lossy compression, and so does MKV. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible.
Common misconception: ""I'll convert to MKV and then back to AMR — it'll be the same"" — in reality, each lossy conversion cycle permanently degrades quality. going amr → mkv → amr will produce a noticeably worse file than the original. always keep your source file.
