Untouched when it can be
AAC to M4A and MP3 to MP3 are copied straight out, not encoded again.
Save the sound of a video on its own as MP3, M4A, FLAC, WAV, Opus or OGG. When the video already carries that format, the track is copied out untouched.
How it works
Open Tools › Video › Video to audio, or drop videos on the window.
Choose the format and, for compressed formats, the bit rate.
Find the sound file next to the video.
What you get
AAC to M4A and MP3 to MP3 are copied straight out, not encoded again.
From 96 to 320 kbps for MP3, M4A, Opus and OGG.
FLAC keeps every detail; WAV is uncompressed, for editing software.
A video with no sound is flagged in the dialog before anything is queued.
Good to know
First time? The install guide shows every screen, including the Windows warning.
MP3 plays on everything. M4A is often copied straight out of MP4 videos, so it is quickest and loses nothing. FLAC keeps everything, at several times the size.
