  1. When using the "Extract audio" option the text in the file browser does not match.
    It says "remove"
    extract

  2. When extracting an AAC audio track from an MP4 video to AAC format, it does not demux (extract) it, but recodes it.
    FFMPEG can simply dump the data into a compatible container. This would be preferable because there is a dedicated convert tab.

Is there a way to extract it without specifying the output file? It seems like ffmpeg always requires an output file to be specified, and because of this I can't possibly demux it without knowing a usable container for it without output parsing mumbo jumbo, which could be different between versions.

Sorry for forgetting to reply !
The command "copy" will demux to the same container as the input file unless you specify an output type

I mostly use FFQueue for a frontend, because it supports raw copy mode so I can remux MP4 files with their subtitles into a single MKV file.
You can create jobs in it and inspect the command string it will use before wasting time
