Taking the audio off a video?

[MarkWaldorf]

Does anyone know how, or if it's possible to do that in WMM? I'd like to save the music from a video seperately. If you know how, or even if there's another programme that could do it, could you please tell me how? I'd appreciate it.

Do you want to use the music off a video and use it in another video?I know how to do that but I don't know how to get it actually off the clip sorry!

Nah, I wanted to just take it off. Thanks anyway. :thumbs:

Try using the Windows Media Encoder...

You'll be able to import the video and save the audio as a wma file.

I usually use virtualdub to extract audio and Goldwave to save as mp3 though Virtualdub doesn't work with wmv video files.

YES! I've been wanting to do this for aaages.
Thanks so much James, and thanks for bringing it up Mark:bigsmile:

EDIT: Cant get it to work, can someone explain to me what to do please:whistle:

[MarkWaldorf]

Thanks James. :thumbs: I found out how to do it on WMM also. :thumbs:

Alternatively, if your movie clip is on mpg format, .avi, .wmv or any movie format readable by Windows Movie Maker, (Available with XP SP2), import it into Windows Movie Maker, select time-line as opposed to Story Board and drag the movie clip to the Audio / Music line.

Then do Save Movie or Publish Movie if on Vista and you create a .wma file of the audio track of the movie clip. The benefit of doing it this way is that you have a chance of editing out any extraneous sound. Do this first on the video clip using the split / splice clip facility.
