Reddit video downloader with sound — how to fix silent MP4

Why Reddit videos lose audio

Reddit often serves separate video and audio streams on v.redd.it. Naive downloaders grab video-only.

PasteGrab uses yt-dlp to merge streams when both are exposed on the public post page.

Always paste the reddit.com/r/…/comments/… permalink, not a bare v.redd.it link without context.

Steps for audio merged MP4

Copy the post URL from Share. Paste on PasteGrab Reddit downloader. Choose Best quality or MP4, Preview, Start download.

If output is silent, retry with Best quality — yt-dlp may discover a combined stream on the second attempt.

Extract MP3 when you only need audio from a talking-head clip.

Gallery posts vs native video

Image galleries are not video downloads. Look for the video player icon on the post before copying the link.

Cross-posts sometimes point at external hosts — preview metadata shows the real source.
