Frequently asked questions
Which format should I choose?
"Keep the original" is best when you just want the sound out: it is copied, not re-encoded, so it is a perfect extract and takes seconds. Choose MP3 for the widest compatibility, M4A when the sound is already AAC and you want a small file, and WAV when you will edit it in Audition, Audacity or a DAW.
What does "keep the original" actually give me?
The sound track exactly as it is inside the video, in the container that suits it: AAC becomes an .m4a, MP3 an .mp3, Opus an .opus, Vorbis an .ogg, FLAC a .flac, and uncompressed sound a .wav. No quality is lost because nothing is re-encoded.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Only the sound track is read, on your device, and the audio file is written there.
Why is the WAV so large?
WAV is uncompressed: about 10 MB a minute in stereo at 48 kHz. That is exactly why editors like it — no compression artefacts to fight — but it makes a poor file to email.
Can it read Dolby Digital or DTS sound?
Yes. AC-3, E-AC-3 and DTS sound from films are decoded here and can be saved as MP3, M4A or WAV. Surround is folded down to stereo for MP3 and WAV.
Can I extract only part of the sound?
Trim the video first with Trim Video, then extract from the trimmed clip — the cut is instant, so it costs nothing.
Good to know: MP3 and WAV are written in stereo, so surround sound is folded down. "Keep the original" needs a container that suits the codec, which is why it is unavailable for a few very old formats — convert those instead.
