- Best for
- Extracting AAC audio for Apple-oriented playback, messaging, music libraries, or voice-note workflows that accept M4A.
- Input → output
- The default audio stream from MP4, MOV, WebM, or MKV becomes 192 kbps AAC inside an M4A container, with video omitted.
- Quality tip
- Check that the intended source track is the default and compare dialogue or music transients afterward. Test the M4A in its destination app.
- Know before running
- This is a lossy AAC re-encode rather than a direct stream copy. Alternate tracks are not selectable, and a video with no audio cannot produce output.
- Next step
- Audio to MP3 when the extracted sound needs wider playback compatibility.
