I've noticed this with MP4Box as well. I think it filters out ADTS frame headers when adding the AAC audio as a track to the MP4 file, which would account for most of the difference. I would guess YAMB does likewise. It seems to be non-destructive though; when re-exporting the raw

I'm not going to swear to it, but as long as the conversion is only taking a few seconds, then there's probably nothing to worry about. Hopefully some others will chime in, but conversion to MP3 would take a lot longer (probably several minutes on a current PC? Try it to find out). If

How to download Radio 1 videos
