Save Reddit videos with the audio actually included. Reddit stores sound as a separate file, which is why most downloaders give you a silent clip. We merge it.
Reddit serves video in DASH renditions, commonly up to 1080p and sometimes 720p depending on what the uploader provided. The audio lives at a separate URL entirely. We fetch both and merge them into one normal file before it reaches you.
Because Reddit stores the audio as a completely separate file from the video. A downloader that fetches only the v.redd.it video stream gets picture with no sound. Merging the two requires ffmpeg, which most sites skip. We do it on every download.
The full post link is more reliable. A bare v.redd.it URL sometimes lacks the reference to the matching audio track, whereas the comments page always resolves to both.
Crossposts usually work, since they point back at the original hosted media. If one fails, open the original post and use that link instead.
Yes. Reddit stores GIFs as short silent MP4 files and those download normally.
