Picture quality like the pros
We use the numbers people use in video work. If the picture quality is going to drop a lot, we tell you before you save.
How to use it
- Press "Choose a video" and pick a video.
- Check that the format says "M4A".
- Pick the sound quality, then press "Compress and save".
- Open the saved M4A in a music app.
Tips from the pros
- If you are going to listen on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, M4A is the easy one.
- Some devices, such as older car stereos, cannot read M4A. Pick MP3 for those.
- When the sound in the video is already AAC, it can sometimes be taken out without being rebuilt, so nothing is lost.
