PPT at a glance

PPT

PPT belongs to the older binary PowerPoint lineage that later gave way to package-based PPTX, but it remains part of presentation history and corporate archives.

WAV at a glance

WAV

WAV grew out of the RIFF multimedia framework created by Microsoft and IBM, which is why it still feels close to desktop and production-tool audio interchange rather than a streaming-first delivery format.
