Audio sample rates — 44.1 kHz vs 48 kHz — for video downloads and MP3 extraction with PasteGrab.
Overview
Sample rate (Hz) is how many audio samples per second — 44.1 kHz (CD), 48 kHz (video standard), 96 kHz (high-res). Video audio is typically 48 kHz AAC.
Converting sample rates in post is fine for references; avoid unnecessary resampling for broadcast masters.
PasteGrab preserves source audio characteristics in MP3/MP4 outputs.

How it works
Editing, archival, audio reference, or quick share — each goal favors different formats and quality levels.
Social clips often work in MP4; audio-only workflows favor MP3. See our format comparison guides for tradeoffs.
Select Best quality for masters, 720p for smaller files, or MP3 when you only need audio — before you preview the link.
Check resolution, bitrate, and audio tracks in your player or NLE before committing to a workflow.
Benefits
44.1 — music distribution. 48 — video sync standard. Mismatch causes minor pitch/speed issues if ignored.
96 kHz rarely benefits social clip extraction — source is already compressed.
MP4 for editing keeps audio in native sample rate with video sync.
Features
Widely compatible video container — default for edits and playback.
Audio-only output when video is unnecessary.
Highest streams yt-dlp finds on the public page.
