Extract audio from MP4, MOV, MKV and WebM
With Original quality the sound is copied out of the video exactly as it is: no encoding, no quality loss, and done in seconds even for a two hour recording. MP4 and MOV files usually give an M4A file, WebM gives Opus, and MKV gives whatever the file holds.
Pick MP3 when you need the file to play everywhere, WAV for editing in a DAW or a video editor, or M4A for Apple devices and podcast apps. Custom quality sets the bitrate, the sample rate and mono or stereo.
What to do with the audio
Pull the sound from a live stream recording to publish it as a podcast, keep a talk or a sermon as audio only, or save the music from your own video to reuse it. Music channels can take it further and run their tracks as a live radio: Upstream plays an audio playlist 24/7 over a picture or a video loop, with the computer off. The lofi radio guide shows how.
