Why not let the user choose? There are some converters out there already and i would not restrict your site by a set quality.



I thought about it, but it complicates the procedure.


Take the original audio stream to reduce losses and always use the best quality video for the audio track source. Youtube already transcodes on upload, you don't want to have three steps of loss in the output.

Unless you're dealing with 10min+ videos, the size difference in the mp3s won't matter anyways.
