Quick answers
Why are Reddit videos silent when I download them directly?
Reddit stores the video stream and the audio stream as two separate files on v.redd.it. Right-clicking the post and choosing Save Video only saves the visual track. MediaGrabber automatically fetches both streams and muxes them into one MP4 with audio attached — no manual merging in ffmpeg or trying to find the audio URL yourself.
How do I download a video from Reddit with sound?
Paste the Reddit post link (or the direct v.redd.it URL) into MediaGrabber. The tool detects the video/audio pair, merges them, and returns one MP4 file with sound intact. Pick from the resolution options Reddit serves — typically 360p, 480p, 720p, or 1080p depending on what the original uploader provided.
Does MediaGrabber download videos cross-posted from other platforms?
Yes. When a Reddit post embeds a YouTube, Streamable, Imgur, or external video, MediaGrabber follows the embed back to the original host and downloads from there. For cross-posts inside Reddit itself, you'll get the original v.redd.it file with merged audio. Either way, paste the Reddit URL and the tool figures out the source.
