M4A or MP3?
M4A with AAC compression can provide efficient quality in modern devices and applications. MP3 remains the safer choice when maximum compatibility with older hardware is important.
Quality depends on the source
Increasing the output bitrate does not recreate information missing from the video's original audio. Choose a setting suited to the source and intended use.
